Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1003: Gold Wire Iron

Under the lead of the fat foreman, Alan walked into a wooden warehouse on the west side of the mine. The air in the warehouse was stuffy. When the wooden doors were pushed open by the foreman, countless dust could be seen spinning and dancing in the sunlight from the window. Inside the warehouse were piles of wagons made of raw iron ore that had been dug out of the cave a few days earlier. They piled up small hills in the warehouse. The surface of the ore was still covered with mud, and it was still in the same state as when it had left the cave.

Alan walked over and picked up one of the ores. The ore was dark and covered in hard bulging particles. On one side of the section, there were a few dark gold veins with dense luster. Astonishment flashed through Allen's eyes. He suddenly clenched his fingers and left five finger marks on the ore. He turned around, threw the ore to Edward and said to Gunn, "You two go out first."

Gunn knew that he had something to say to Edward, so he nodded and pulled the foreman out of the warehouse.

Edward raised his hand and a whirlwind came out of nowhere in the warehouse, closing the wooden door. "This is gold wire," he said. "I can see some records of the empire's mineral deposits. There were records about this type of gold wire iron. This metal was of high hardness, and what was even more rare was its natural gold wire. These strands of gold make the metal extremely tough, making it difficult for barrels or equipment made from them to be damaged by external forces. In other words, with the current iron-making technology of the empire, the quality of the finished gold wire iron refined and processed is no less than that of the alloy. "

"Then isn't it more expensive than gold?" "I bet Zhan Lang doesn't know the value of this kind of iron ore," said Alan, narrowing his eyes as he swept across the carts of gold wire in the warehouse.

"Gold wire iron production is small, the empire only produced a few mines this rare metal. These mines were directly controlled by the royal family. The gold wire and iron produced was supplied directly to the royal family. The equipment and or cannon barrels produced by the royal weapons workshop were only used to arm a few elite armies. "There's no shortage of people who know about Gold Wire Iron, but there definitely isn't a bandit like Zhan Lang inside." Edward smiled and said, "Looks like this gray wolf mine is the real interest of the Lord behind Meggis."

Allen nodded. "This mine alone can bring great profits to the so-called lord. Not to mention places like the Dark Lands, where many shady grey transactions can be made. For the big shots, these are the main reasons why the Dark Lands exist. As for the taxes on caravans, they are just a cover."

"Then this time, we can be said to have accidentally knocked on the door, causing a big shot to be injured." Edward put the iron ore back on the car and said, "What do you plan to do? This gray wolf mine is very hot. It won't be easy to eat in idleness, will it?"

"Why not? Anyway, the number of people we've offended on our way to the Northern Capital is definitely not small. Didn't you already foresee this long ago?" Allen said calmly, "Besides, according to what you said, these gold wire iron should belong to the strategic goods restricted by the empire. They can only be traded on the black market. We already know that even if we return them, they might not let us off. Since that's the case, we won't be polite to accept this mine."

Edward's expression was calm, and he even shrugged his shoulders with ease, "Then do as you say and give me that Gangen. In his mouth, at least I can dig out the gold wire and take over with someone. Since I want to take over the mine, I'll just take over the whole trading chain."

'"You see what happens. There's also the property on Hei Yu's side. Use your mind to take a look. There's a so-called general behind Hei Yu. I don't know where he is in the Imperial Military Department. But since he's the boss behind Hei Yu, maybe Hei Yu also has such a shameful property like the Graywolf Mine."

Edward smiled. "You're greedy. This time, you've poked a big hole in the Land of Darkness. It's already an unexpected pleasure to reap this Gray Wolf Mine. What benefits do you plan to gain from Black Feather? I don't believe there's another rare mine hidden in the Black Feather. The Land of Darkness should be renamed the Land of Gold."

Ellen spread out his hands and said, "Haven't you ever heard of gathering sand to form a pagoda? Even if Black Feather doesn't have a gold industry like the Graywolf Mine, mosquito legs are still meat. I won't be too short of them."

As the two left the warehouse, Alan called Gunn over and told him to follow Edward for the next two days. Then the four of them left the mine.

After returning to the Evil Tooth Barrier, Alan hid in the quiet room of the temple and began to meditate. In yesterday's battle with Joey, the skin wounds on his body were minor, mainly due to Origin Energy's heavy consumption. This was the first time he had used the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy and Red King Explosive Flames to destroy the city. The moment the city was destroyed, its power wasn't weak, and its consumption was very considerable. Allen had no experience before, but after yesterday's battle, he believed that he would have a more accurate grasp of the timing of the city's attack in the future.

After the battle, even though he had spent an afternoon meditating on Ming En, he had only recovered 50-60% of his Origin Energy. Two days later, when he met with the leaders of the Dark Lands, Alan hoped to appear perfectly in order to suppress the bandits in one fell swoop.

Today's Grey Wolf Mine was truly a pleasant surprise, and the harvest was abundant. This made Alan feel at ease. As a result, today's meditation was exceptionally smooth. After meditating for a while, his mind was constantly settling down. Allen's feelings towards the outside world became hazy. It was as if he had returned to his mother's womb. His thoughts continued to sink deeper. A moment later, Alan's eyes lit up and he successfully entered the Origin Energy Star Sea.

He opened his conscious eyes and swept across the Origin Energy Star Sea. He could clearly sense that the Origin Energy Star Sea was slightly different from last time. In the past, the amount of star debris flying in the sky had obviously decreased by a lot, but the sea of stars had not become empty because of this. Alan's memory was astonishing, and he soon discovered that there were some small stars in the sea of stars. These stars were unseen before. Although they were small, the Origin Energy fluctuations they emitted were very lively.

Before this, Alan had witnessed the scene of star fragments absorbing and fusing together, secretly falling in love with the Origin Energy Star Core. Now that the star fragments had disappeared into thin air, there were a few more small planets. This was probably a scene of even larger Origin Energy absorbing in the sea of stars. This discovery caused his heart to tremble. If this conclusion was correct, wouldn't it mean that there were some rules in the Origin Energy Star Sea? Otherwise, how could there be a phenomenon of absorption?

Although there were fewer star debris, it had no effect on Alan. He had already passed the stage of plundering star debris. Not long ago, he had tried to plunder the Origin Energy Planet, but he was still unable to catch it, so he could only peel off a few fragments in the end. But now that he had these small planets, Alan was eager to try and plunder a small planet. Do what you want, and the tentacles of your consciousness immediately drift towards the nearest small star.

The last time he plundered the remnant star, his tentacles were bounced away by the remnants of the star's gravitational force. With his previous experience, Allen had twisted his consciousness antennae into a single strand from the very beginning, piercing towards the target like a drill. Sure enough, as he had expected, the drill formed from this consciousness had encountered tremendous resistance just as it was about to approach the star. Allen's will began to wrestle with the gravitational field of the star. After wrestling for a while, the gravitational field of the star was much stronger than he had expected.

Even though the target star was less than a third the size of the last remnant star, the gravitational field was exceptionally strong. Alan tried several times, but he couldn't penetrate the gravitational field protecting the star, making him feel helpless.

Could it be that they could only plunder the wandering fragments of Origin Stars? He was a little unwilling, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind. Alan's consciousness stirred, and the Heavenly Flame Origin Energy within his body began to circulate. Unconsciously, Alan's body began to show signs of flames in the quiet room of the temple. The temperature in the room also continued to rise, and sparks and ashes rose out of thin air, floating down from the sky.

Within the Origin Energy Star Sea, Heavenly Fire Origin Energy came from the sky. Using Allen's consciousness as a bridge, he broke through the invisible boundary of the Origin Energy Star Sea, causing Allen's originally gray-white tentacles to shine brightly. When the Heavenly Fire Source filled all the antennae of his consciousness, there were more than a dozen flaming streams in the Origin Energy Star Sea, just like the boiling corona on the surface of the sun. The Heavenly Fire Origin Energy was one of the most tyrannical and fierce in the Void Origin Energy. Right now, within the Origin Energy Star Sea, the tens of tentacles of consciousness filled with Heavenly Flame Origin Energy were released, and the few remaining star fragments in the surroundings were ignited one after another. Some of the Origin Energy fragments that had inadvertently floated past were also emitted sparks from within and out of the sea. In the end, it spat out fine flames and quickly disintegrated, exploding into a circle of burning flame fragments.

Alan's consciousness stirred, and a dozen streams of fire formed into a whip that fiercely swept towards the small star before him. This time, the flame whip landed on the gravitational field on the surface of the star, and a light blue halo appeared on the originally invisible and qualitative gravitational field. One could see that the halo had been swept away by the Skyfire Whip, and the place where the whip had swept down had sunk down like butter.

It seemed that the gravitational field of the star could not do anything to the power of the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy. Allen was overjoyed and immediately whipped a few more times. When the last whip landed, the blue halo finally shook violently and dissipated like a bubble. The flame whip rushed straight into the small star and started pulling it backwards. The small planet gradually deviated from its original position, moving very slowly at first. However, the later he went, the faster his speed became.

However, as the planet moved, Alan noticed that the surface of the star began to emit streams of fire. Under the violent intrusion of the Heavenly Fire Source Force, this small planet actually gradually disintegrated! Allen didn't expect this to happen. What was the difference between a planet disintegrating and plundering debris? Thinking of this, Alan dispersed the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy. However, a few fragments were still peeled off from the surface of the star. As soon as they left the star, they began to burn rapidly, causing Alan's heart to ache greatly.
