## Hero Lore

Kuang Tie is the most famous mercenary in Haidu, Arcana. When the title Crazed Steel is mentioned, everyone says: Oh, the fool who challenged the Builders

South of the vast Sunset Sea, the rising and powerful city of Arcana was built by the ruling families. Among them, the tower family who laid the foundation of the city were called "the City Builders". They have mastered the power to make the city stand up tall from generation to generation, and are well-known masters of mechanical techniques. It is said that this power originates from the distant ancient times, all the way from the end of knowledge and wisdom.

This power has maintained the prosperity and order of Haidu from generation to generation. Yes, order. Just like Haidu is divided into three classes, the people of Haidu also have strict identities tied to them by clans and families. The top tier classes are the ruling nobles, the middle tier are businessmen, and the lower tier are poor people like Kuang Tie. By the way, there are countless merchants active in Haidu. They use trade to support the huge research funds of the institution and enjoy the convenience brought by the development of the institution.

When he was very young, Kuang Tie sold his strength at the dock. So far, he remembered a gracious businessman, Mr. Polo, who always tipped him generously.

One day, before the fleet sailed, he asked the merchant.

"Sir, are you going to the East?"

"Yes."

"What's in the East?"

The businessman hesitated, then replied, "There is a solution this pollution."

When Kuang Tie seemed to understand, the merchant boarded the ship. Later, he never came back. He had long forgotten what the businessman looked like, but the last conversation they had always etched in his mind.

As an adult, Kuang Tie took up his profession as a guard. At the end of the year, when there is a rare stopover, the caravan travels around the Sunset Sea. Perhaps because of this, he became very sensitive to changes in Haidu. He gradually realized that something was wrong. Every time he returned, the sea was still majestic, but wonderful changes spread in subtleties: waste water, corrosion and crystallization... This kind of change scared him.

What exactly is a "miracle"?

Everyone knows that miracles and the power of the magic family have created an extraordinary sea capital. But Crazy Iron had a whimsical association: perhaps, when the generation of pollution is closely related to the power of miracles.

Every night of the full moon, Milady, the "City Builder", one of the ruling families, will arrange his own delicate facilities at the top of the tower. So one morning, when she was leaving, a lowly mercenary blocked her way.

The mechanical servants swarmed up, holding up the disrespectful attacker and letting him struggle desperately. From the beginning to the end, the arrogant female aristocrat looked on indifferently.

"etc."

As soon as the iconic hoarse voice spoke, the mechanical servants immediately stopped moving. They know very well that one second of error can lead to dire results.

Delicate canes poke the palm of the disrespectful. Something is shining. Nobles are all too familiar with this.

"This is evidence!"

the mercenary said loudly.

"Evidence of contamination!"

"Waste water comes out of the ground! Rust corrodes coral! And wild prey mutates into crystals."

"Pollution will destroy the sea capital!"

People were dumbfounded. Is this guy looking for death? The indifferent female noble raised her eyebrows, obviously, she understood the meaning of the mercenary's words very well.

In an instant, she made a decision. When he raised his cane high, the electric current flashed, and the mercenary stopped cursing and passed out. But in the end he saved his life.

The price was the loss of a hand, and it was ironic that he would only be able to make a living wielding a weapon with an arm built from his most hated mechanism. Of course, people remembered the nickname "Crazy Iron", but gradually forgot his real name.

But Crazy Iron did not give up. He still guards the caravan, turning a blind eye to people's ridicule, but the doubts and fears about pollution and miracles have never left his heart.

Some days later, on a calm night, when he and the caravan were camping outside a certain forest, people started talking about gossip.

have you heard of it? A demon roams the vast sunset sea.

He is ruthless, ruthless and powerful, and where the blade is swung, there is no life.

Is he strong?

Who knows? You know, everyone says he also has miraculous powers.

Is it better than the builders and ruling families?

Just ask this crazy guy! After all, he was the guy who survived the confrontation with the fortress!

People laughed. But what Kuantie felt was a terrifying sight.

Around the campfire sat a tall man, a hood covering his face, but a long scabbard sticking out from under his cloak.

He felt the same fear when he faced Milady the Builder. The ridicule and sarcasm drifted away from his ears, and the next sentence that seemed to come out of his mouth would become his last words.

This reckless mercenary suddenly regained his composure after being at a loss for a moment. You have nothing to lose, so what is there to fear?

"Let Rang, Ran Ran," he shouted, squeezed beside the mysterious man, and sat down nonchalantly.

"Dude, what do you mean by miracle?"

"It can make people strong. It makes everyone afraid of it. By the way, it also claims to be the Arcana Magic Family or the Miracle Family. But I don't think that's right."

"When you have power, you treat yourself as a god and do whatever you want. Let the earth corrode and animals mutate. Then they are nothing more than counterfeit goods."

"The devil is nothing, if only by the power of miracles to do the same thing."

The reckless mercenary looked provocatively at the person who seemed to be able to take his own life with just a touch of his hand. He thought to himself, what a fool he is, always going to challenge some behemoth that is more frightening than a windmill.

Unexpectedly, the killing intent on the mysterious man disappeared.

"That's right," he said. "That's not right. Because power is not a gift, it's a curse."

"If the curse cannot be lifted, then the collapse of the Arcana family will bring the entire Sunset Sea into a disaster."

The shocked Kuang Tie involuntarily blurted out: "Then, you are really..."

"Cain. Remember my name, Cain. Because, at some point, I'll lose it."

He smiled sarcastically, then stood up and disappeared into the night.

Kuang Tie was even more certain that he originally appeared here to kill himself. But because he said his true thoughts, he gave up his plan.

why?

Is the pollution in the businessman's mouth the same thing as the curse in his mouth?

The devil of the Sunset Sea, no, not a devil, or he also discovered the fact that he was equally afraid, and tried to stop it, stop the "curse".

When the sun rose, Kuang Tie had already made up his mind.

He will return to the sea capital. He will stop the spread of pollution.

The more you fear, the more you must overcome it.
