Volume 1 The Vanishing Lands Chapter 54

Faced with so many caves, Taylor and Philoy were at a loss, where to go, at this moment, suddenly from a cave there was a sound of conversation, Taylor and Philoy hurriedly found a stone wall behind to hide themselves, they saw two dwarves, one fat and one thin, talking about something and walking towards the transit point.

"Sure enough, it's the Vaals. Taylor saw them and confirmed that it was indeed built by the Vaals.

"What are they saying? Why can't I understand it? Is it Brett language?" Filloe heard the two dwarves chattering, but he didn't understand.

"They speak the lingua franca of Brest. Taylor motioned for Philoy to be quiet, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to their conversation, Taylor, the continental lingua franca, also knew something and could roughly understand what they were saying.

"Hurry up and finish today's work and go back early, I really don't know what Blatt is doing with so many source energy collectors?" the fat dwarf complained.

"You don't care what they do, anyway, they gave us enough ore this time, and the patriarch said that we just need to work. The thin dwarf said.

"Yes, anyway, that human woman doesn't know how to transform the heart stone, can she read the drawings? ”

"It's useless to be able to understand it, that drawing is incomplete, if you want to see it, there are many copies of drawings in the base, even if they can make the heart stone, it is just a waste stone, the core core they don't know how to make it, that kind of process is a method that the patriarch knows." "The Thin Dwarf is clearly not optimistic that Blatter will be able to make a Heart Stone.

"Then what are the humans doing with so many source energy ores to Blat, these are the necessary ores needed for the manufacture of heart stones, could it be that they already know how to make them?" asked the fat dwarf worriedly.

"What do you care so much about, is there less such a deal between humans and Blat? Just how many times has that human woman been here, first told them that there are heart stones for us to collect, and then after discovering the source iron concentrate, they said that they want half of the ore collected here, if it weren't for the agreement between the patriarch and the humans, we would have mined it ourselves, anyway, we only have to take the benefits, what happens between them humans and Blatt is their business. The thin dwarf said as he replaced the propulsion of the transporter parked at the transit point, "Hey, you want to be lazy again, don't you, get to work." Reluctantly, the fat dwarf began to change the device with the thin dwarf, and when all the vehicles were replaced, they returned to the cave with their tools.

After the two of them were completely silent, Taylor and Philoy returned to the transit point, and Taylor briefly repeated their conversation to Philoy.

"So, the human woman they speak of is your Queen of Charmon in Brett?" said Philoy.

"I think eight or nine are inseparable, and the conversation between the two of them reveals several important information, the royal family and Blatter have always maintained some kind of contact, at least during the reign of Queen Samon, this contact has not ended, and the heart stone should be one of the reasons why the Samon royal family entered Paris this time, but the two of them also said that the drawings of the heart stone are not complete, but Samon is still providing a large amount of source energy ore to Bret, this ore is very scarce in Bret, and this kind of ore mining has always required the permission of the royal family, but she has been providing Blatter with the purpose of exchanging the drawings, which shows one thing, Queen Samon should have another drawing in her hand, otherwise she wouldn't have made a deal. Moreover, the Vaal must know the secret of the Heart Stone, and even this kind of ordinary miner knows the secret of the Heart Stone making, so it can be seen that they should know how to make the Heart Stone. Taylor spoke to Philoy about his opinion, only to see her nodding her head.

"As you like, Lord Taylor, Dean Kule has always praised you very much, it seems to make sense, you can see so many points in a simple conversation, but unfortunately, we Red don't have someone like Your Excellency who knows things. Filloi did not hesitate to praise Taylor.

"Captain Philoy is serious, I think since they said that there is a copy of the drawings in this station, let's find an opportunity to go in and get a copy of it, and see what this heart stone is, so that Red can also use the drawings to study. Taylor looked around, trying to find a way to get into the base.

"That's a good idea, but how do we get in? Isn't it possible to get in these transports? By the way, the transports!" Philo inadvertently glanced at the direction of the transports' tracks as he entered the cave, which led directly into the interior of the station. Taylor immediately understood what she meant, so the two of them found a relatively large transport cart, picked up the ore inside, and used their breath to make a corner large enough for the two of them to stay, and then Taylor used the magic circle barrier to ensure that the ore above his head would not fall.

With the sound of the metal stretching of the elevator, the transport vehicle they were in was bumped into the track, and then it sped smoothly along the mine slope quickly, Taylor couldn't help but sigh that this propulsion device was so smooth and efficient, in the mine with some slopes, it could actually ensure the smooth and fast progress of the transport vehicle, looking at Brett and Red, no one could make such a subtle thing.

After driving for a while, Taylor obviously felt that the temperature around him had risen a lot, and it seemed that he had come to a certain smeltery, and as the speed of the transport vehicle slowed down a little until it came to a complete stop, Taylor cautiously raised his head and looked out from the edge of the transport vehicle, only to see a huge steel furnace in front of them, and there were several in front of the transport truck they were waiting to unload, there was no one here, only a huge mechanical arm was next to the furnace, grabbed the transport truck that came directly below it, poured the ore and other debris inside into the burning furnace, and then put it on another track, leaving here and speeding in the direction of the cave again.

After confirming that no one was there, Taylor and Philoy jumped out of the transporter and marveled at what they saw.

"Oh my god, this is spectacular. Philoy saw that everything in the smelter was completely automated, and the ore sorting, transporting, smelting, and disposing of waste were all carried out simultaneously in the huge machine in front of him.

"The Vaal people are not in vain, their manufacturing power is unrivaled on this continent. Taylor sighed, too, but it was not time to be surprised, he looked around, and saw that there was a circle of stairs leading to the top of the area, where there was a small door, which was supposed to be an access point, so he and Philo went up the stairs to the top floor, and used their own senses to sense the breath inside.

"There weren't many people in there, just a few Blats walking around, and they were supposed to be patrols. After Taylor finished speaking, Filloi broke the door lock, and entered the door, and the moment she entered, the scorching temperature instantly became normal, and after staying in the smelter for a short time, she and Taylor were already soaking wet.

In front of them was a circular corridor, there were many rooms on both sides of the corridor, all the way to spiral downward, Taylor and Philo hurried to start searching for rooms that could be entered, and the Bratt Philoi they met on the way used the same method to stun them, most of them were lounges and control rooms, after looking for a while, they didn't find anything useful, let alone blueprints, and soon they followed the corridor to the lower level, Taylor signaled not to move forward, because he sensed a large number of Blats not far in front of them.

"What should I do?" Filoi asked, if it was enough to fight with these Blat, but it would definitely attract Blatter from other areas of the station to come to support, so that the whereabouts of the two of them would be exposed, and even if they retreated, it would alert the entire Navias defense line, and once the other squads were exposed, the gains would outweigh the losses.

Taylor looked through the vent in the door and saw a large area in front of him that appeared to be Blatter's rest area, many of which were sleeping, and beyond this area he could see a room that was shining.

"Philoy, will you be shackled by sluggishness?" Taylor asked, a level 8 range-controlling white breath skill.

"Yes, what do you want to do?" asked Philoy, puzzled.

"Take a risk, you apply sluggish shackles to the entire area of Blat, reduce their reflexes, and then you follow me, and we'll search the area as fast as we can, and if we don't find it again, we will retreat, there will be no time left. Taylor simply told Philoy about his plan, but she didn't understand what Taylor was going to do, but she believed Taylor.

The white aura in Filoy's body skyrocketed instantly, and a white circle of light appeared under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, the aperture expanded rapidly, affected by this aperture, except for her and Taylor, all Blat's action speed and reaction ability will be reduced by more than half, and Taylor took out the magic bead at the same time, black and blue aura kept entwining on the magic bead, and a huge field appeared in the range covered by the aperture, Philo felt that the flow of breath in the field became very slow, and under the double effect of her sluggish shackles, she could see that the Blatter in front of her seemed to be frozen, and then another magic circle appeared at the feet of the two of them, Filori instantly felt that his steps became lighter.

"Let this area stop for a while, we're going to hurry. Taylor and Philo opened the door and swept through the area in front of them and went directly to the glowing area, after coming here, Taylor found that this was a research institute, many Vaal people were using the tools in their hands to knock on the neatly arranged ores and molds, now they seemed to be frozen, the speed of the raised hand fell so slowly that it was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye, Taylor did not delay for a moment, after searching this area as quickly as possible, he found a large number of drawings on a small cabinet that was messily placed, the content was the same He took a cursory look, it should be the copy drawings that the two Vaal people said before, after he succeeded, he and Philoy quickly returned to the hallway of the smelter, retracting the field and aperture at the same time. Affected by these two breath skills, both Blatt and Vaal who had returned to normal were stunned for a moment, looking around, but did not find anything abnormal, and continued their work as usual.

Taylor and Philoy retreated to the smelter, left the area on a transporter on another track, and disappeared into the forest.

"It's so thrilling, I didn't expect the breath skill to be used like this!" Filloi did this for the first time, feeling new and excited, and admiring Taylor even more, the timing was so accurate, if there was any missynchronization between his realm and his aperture, as long as a Blatt found out, then they would be exposed.

"It's nothing, I'll have a chance to talk to you about the collaboration between breath skills in the future, now let's hurry up, time is running out. Taylor and Philoy followed the markers left by their team in advance, moving quickly towards the meeting point, the promotion fortress above their heads was still throwing Blat, but it could disappear at any time, Taylor stared closely in the direction of the Sanctuary of Antanviin, thinking about what the Vaal people had said, what kind of deal was the Samon royal family doing with Blatter?
