"Isn't it against the rules to tell me this?" Cassia asked, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about what will happen to my mission. Please consider your own situation at this time."
"No, no, I understand those truths in my heart. What each of them talks about, I know much better than you. Thank you for your kindness. I am sure that what I said can be said, and I will not cross that line.
Don't worry about me." The uncle driver laughed, and the depression along the journey seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment, "Speaking of Blinuo, we must first mention the Three Primary Colors Group and Imperial Mineral Source Company, because Blinuo used to be called '
Brino Mining Town' is a small town formed by a group of mining employees living in the mountains. It is jointly managed by people from Imperial Mining Company and Three Primary Color Group. Later, due to the development of the mines there, several railway lines have been laid.
and highways. With the development of transportation, more and more people are going there. It is a mining area, and smuggling and selling some minerals at low prices has become inevitable due to the development of transportation. Every force has cancer in it.
Whether to stay or not depends on the cleanup efforts of each force. As you can guess later, Blinuo Town has developed rapidly in a short period of time. While it continues to expand, it is famous for smuggling and selling minerals at low prices.
A large number of other types of smugglers gathered there."
"Even if the empire doesn't take care of it, the Three Primary Color Group and the Imperial Mining Source Company will never ignore it, right? What's being smuggled and sold at low prices is for their own benefit." Cassia was very confused.
"Of course, what you said is very good, it is a good idea." The uncle agreed, "But the proposal of the idea and the intensity of its implementation are two different things. When they discovered and wanted to rectify the town of Blinuo,
At that time, Brino had transformed from a town into a city. And it was full of smugglers and arms dealers, or some well-known figures in the dark world. And there was another most fatal reason, that was
This is the main reason why Bruno can survive and develop to this day under the power of the Three Primary Colors Group and the Imperial Mineral Source Company, as well as the power of the Empire."
Seeing Cassia's confused expression, the uncle's face softened, and he paused with his open mouth, as if he was thinking about how to explain to Cassia.
"This involves one of the largest illegal gray areas on the Hou Xiang Continent. If Brino is a small gray area that exists in the empire and is not completely restricted by law and corresponding national power. Then Hou Xiang
The huge gray area on the Xiang Continent is completely unmanageable by anyone. Its area includes the Empire, the Flame Alliance and the Far Sea Commonwealth, but because of its special golden triangle area, it exists between the three countries.
Only in the bordering areas can it not be managed and restricted by any country. And on the Later Phase Continent, the empire, the Flame Alliance, and the Far Sea Common Country are either separated by an endless red desert or an insurmountable group of people.
Mountains. Among these geographies, there is only that gray area that is not affected by the red desert and the continuous mountains. It connects the three countries with a vast plain. Therefore, the trade there is very developed. Because of this, the rate of decline there is
It was also so fast that even after the existence of the three countries discovered this problem, they did not have time to use their own power to jointly prevent the deterioration of the situation. So it became a dark world for all the three countries.
It’s a paradise for people inside. And Blinuo City is close to that triangular area.”
"It must be the result of the influence of the triangle area." Cassia nodded and expressed his guess.
"Yes, that's it. But it wasn't like this a few years ago. People here were not bold enough to attack the vehicles of the Three Primary Color Group. But the mistake is that some people can't help but be tempted by the benefits. Illegal areas
Anything can be traded, and as long as you want to get something, the people there can get it for you. So the Imperial Mining Company may not be satisfied with the interest network in the empire, they also want to enter through that huge gray area
The markets of other countries. Although the two are on opposite sides, in peacetime, there is no shortage of business and trade among the three superpowers. Originally, there was a mountain range between Brino and the Gray Zone.
It was a natural barrier, and you had to take an airship to get over. But someone dug through this mountain range and even laid a railway. So things became what they are now."
"In the end, I hurt myself."
"That's it. The reason why this section of road is so dilapidated is also intentional. The purpose is to prevent Brinoli's cars from entering the empire in large numbers, so it is now made so that only giant trucks can pass easily.
It looks like. Not far from here, there are several checkpoints to prevent the same thing." He went on to say that the black shadow of the mountains in front suddenly rose a little higher. Cassia looked at the map and found that they had reached this section.
It's at the edge of the road.
"So the current Brino town is no longer the former Brino town. The Three Primary Color Group and Imperial Mining Company can be said to be the largest forces in Brino, but there are still people who dare to take advantage of them here. I think
The current environment in Blino will not be very good. Something may be stirring secretly."
"This is the general environment of the empire. I will be careful when going on missions." Cassia said sincerely.
"It's not enough to just be careful, you have to be careful and careful." The uncle's face showed worry, "The senior and I sent a carload of people over to carry out the mission. The nature was the same as yours, and it was also about smuggling items.
But in the end, none of those students came back alive, and they all died in Blinuo Town. I was deeply impressed by that mission, so I wanted to tell you more about these things, hoping that you can be mentally prepared." "Thank you very much. I know, I will keep it in my heart." Cassia looked at her uncle's face and nodded.
The time estimate was very accurate. When the time on the mechanical watch reached early morning, Cassia and the others, who were driving an off-road vehicle, finally saw a row of neatly arranged lights spreading across the dark mountains, like a curved snake.
Like this, he hid his head in the endless darkness.
They are street lamps carrying loneliness and responsibility, silently contributing their own dim light in this desolate mountain range.
