Hank's words are not half exaggerated, because the battle of Tania on February 11, which shocked the Free Continent, has indeed spread to the scope of the underground black market. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the Restoration's previous control of the underground black market, and the later suppression of the gray forces by the officials of the Remote Control Principality, several forces from the underground black market and the warrior families who have just set foot here have been weakened to a greater or lesser extent, which also makes them have little room to play when the conflict broke out and the Imperial Army entered the city that day. Sumeri, who had already semi-withdrawn, and Kazak, who had disappeared, did not show their bodies in any corner of the underground waterway at that time, and the various robbery gangs and criminal groups that originally dominated the underground also lost their ability and courage, so when countless members of the Restorationists poured out of the passage and mixed up with the city guards, only a group of people led by Queen Maggie and the members of the Warrior House led by President Hank were the only ones who blocked them from cleaning up the underground black market.

Although, judging by the results, their actions are worthy of the title of "warrior".

Hundreds of strong men who followed from the Free City were in groups of threes and twos, blocking the important fulcrums of each passage in an orderly manner, and then used their majestic bodies and iron will to block the attacks from the city guards and the mysterious black-clothed men in turn. Naturally, there will be some inevitable casualties and the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy, but the leader of the bartender, dressed as the president, has never retreated from the front, and the iron fist that keeps swinging out and smashing countless skulls has not stopped. I don't know how long the battle lasted in the dark, and the black-clad mystery who received some instructions began to take the lead in retreating towards the top of the passage, and it was not until the appearance of the nightclub mixed army led by the tower-like Hu Lin that the battle that seemed to be aimed at clearing the underground black market finally ended temporarily with the retreat of the other party.

It's just that in Hank's eyes at the time, this was also a great opportunity.

"There are also some adventurers in the mixed army brought by Hulin, and they have brought us some news after the blockade." "Then we found out...... The fact that the Imperial army broke the gate and had stormed the city. ”

"So you rushed?" Duan Qing glared: "Or rush towards the other party's lair?" ”

"It doesn't matter who this group of people is, since the Empire is going to kill them, they must always show their true skills." Hank, with a bandage on his head, replied with a smile: "Valletta Avenue is the secondary road of Yar's Street, and it doesn't take much time to reach Parliament Square, since the opportunity is so short...... Then we gritted our teeth and slapped our thighs and rushed towards the furnace. ”

"At that time, we had only one thought, and that was to occupy the place before the Empire took possession of the principality." He said in a deep voice, "Even if you can't hold it in the end...... We'll fix that too. ”

"The so-called solution ......" Duan Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light: "It can't be that one will die together, right?" ”

"If you can not die, of course it is better not to die." The head bartender replied, "But...... We've been here for so many years and we've never heard that the furnace can be moved, so ......"

"If you can't do it, then you'll have to find a way to fuck it."

He wiped his face with the back of his hand, revealing a casual sinister smile.

"I didn't see that you were patriots in the black market." Duan Qing smacked his mouth: "As a person from the City of Freedom, he actually cares so much about the future of the principality......

"If Tania is destroyed, the principality will naturally have no future." Hank, who was walking in front, shrugged his shoulders: "So...... We don't care about the future of the principality, we just ...... I just don't want the furnace to fall into the hands of the Imperials. ”

“…… Oh? ”

"The energy contained in the furnace...... More than you can imagine. ”

Waving his hand at the surrounding warriors, the bartender man began to lead Duan Qing towards the depths of the passage: "Even if we haven't found more uses yet, it's just these known uses...... It is enough to make a qualitative leap forward for a country. We can't guess why the Duchy's officials didn't use it in the past time, but in the days when those mysterious people took control of the Crucible, they had a large number of jaw-dropping results. ”

"They should be the first beneficiaries of this furnace, as evidenced by the goods we intercepted." Speaking of this, Hank pointed to the haphazardly stacked crates around the aisle, "Can't we ...... Let the Imperials get these too. ”

"No wonder ......"

Xue Ling, who had been following behind without speaking, suddenly let out a sudden voice at this time: "The attack power of those enemies is so high, and the defense is sometimes surprisingly high......

"This young lady...... Also one of the combatants? ”

"Uh...... Sort of. ”

Scratching his head a little helplessly, Duan Qing bypassed the topic with a haha: "That is to say...... They made a lot of fine equipment out of the furnace? ”

"Yes, and it's already starting to circulate outward." Hank, who was walking in front, replied without looking back, "The customer here...... There are even adventurers. ”

“…… It's Vizard, right? ”

Duan Qing muttered in a low voice, "Before the sunset, it seems that he took out a ring that we have not seen before......"

"What?"

"It's nothing, it's just suspicion, suspicion."

Waving his hand to the front senselessly, Duan Qing continued to ask the other party, "What about later?" What happened next? ”

“…… Then came the well-known pillar of purple light. ”

Hank's voice sank as he lowered his head: "At that time, we had just arrived near the furnace and started to fight with some of the people who stayed there, although we had a slight advantage in numbers and strength, it was impossible to break through that line of defense in the first place. Just as we were about to rush in, the pillar of light erupted, and the people who were close to the place ...... Almost none survived. ”

"We can confirm that those people must have a way to start the furnace, or a way to use it that we don't know about." Hank said categorically, "Otherwise, they would never have been able to do this." ”

“……”

Inexplicably recalled the old man who had been photographed a few times in his mind, and Duan Qing exhaled a long breath: "That furnace...... Has anything changed now? ”

“…… I do not know. ”

To Duan Qing's surprise, Hank shook his head and replied, "The people of our Warrior House are newcomers who have just entered the underground black market, and the usual sources of goods are also based on the skills of some local snakeheads, as for the original appearance of that furnace, we naturally don't know. The only people who can see what is going on are the local forces that have been here for a long time, such as Queen Maggie in the nightclub, and Kazak, who is already dead......"

"Wait, what did you say?" Duan Qing was shocked: "Kazak is dead? ”

"This was also later, when we were clearing the underground waters, we found his body."

The arc-shaped passage suddenly appeared in front of the group, and at the same time Hank's sighing words appeared: "Probably...... They must have been killed, for we had long suspected that Kazak might be the one who lured the City Guard to the underground black market. ”

"The traitors who hide those mysterious people are mostly related to him who is a nobleman behind them, but now ...... Nothing can be said clearly. ”

After saying this sentence with a secret sigh, Hank, who was walking at the forefront, gestured to a few strong men guarding the end of the passage, and then took Duan Qing and the two of them to a huge arch: "This is it." ”

“…… It looks familiar. ”

"What, you've been to this place before?"

"No, but ......"

Glancing at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice behind him, Duan Qing smiled and pushed open the door: "I probably saw it in a dream, this young lady behind me ......"

"Fought here."

The circular cloister, the rotunda illuminated by red light, the quadrangular passage that can be seen faintly, and the huge pillar of light in the center...... The impressive escape alarm seemed to be still echoing in their ears, and the seemingly distant battle between a certain woman and the RMB warrior was still vivid, and the scene that had appeared in the individual competition of the League Cup reappeared in front of Duan Qing and the others. The two people looked at each other, walked to the front of the pillar of light together, and then faced the flat cylindrical fluid surface and the overflowing energy rushing to their faces, and asked in a trance, "What is this......?" Is it the Furnace? ”

"Isn't it a little different from the furnace you know?"

Hank, who came later, put his hands behind his back and looked up at the pillar of light: "The source is unknown, the purpose is unknown, the energy possessed is so huge, but it can flow so smoothly in this small place...... Such miracles are easily recognizable even to someone like me who knows nothing about magic, let alone the fellows of the Mage's Council, and the mysterious people who know how to use it. After hearing that the Imperial people were persuaded to quit by the Mage Council, we immediately surrounded this place, and at the same time tried to capture a few escaped guys and interrogate the secrets of this place. Maybe it's bad luck, we didn't have a single one left, and we thought that the guys from the Council of Seven would come and retrieve this thing, but until now...... They didn't move at all. ”

"Could it be that their conscience has found that this thing is really going to be left on the black market?" Hank jokingly said, "Give us poor people who have worked so hard? ”

"Maybe you don't understand anything, so it's okay to give it to you." Duan Qing said expressionlessly, "At least I'm ...... now I don't see what this thing is for. ”

"Well...... Very simple. ”

With a strange look in his eyes, Hank clapped his hands behind him, and then took an ordinary longsword and a pair of shoulder armor from the hands of the two black-clothed warriors who came after him: "Although I have heard rumors of using the furnace before, we are guarding this place for a long time...... Experimented with this usage as well. ”

"It really works."

As the words fell, Hank suddenly turned around and walked to the front of the pillar of light, and then forcefully threw the two pieces of equipment in his hand towards the center of the pillar of light. The imaginary explosion and energy fluctuations did not appear in front of Duan Qing, but instead there was a loud sound of metal falling to the ground, and he looked towards the other end of the pillar of light, and the doubts in his eyes gradually spread with his wide eyes: "This ...... It's ......"

"That's the ultimate secret of the underground black market, and ......"

Leaning over to pick up a new giant axe on the ground, Hank pointed in the direction of the pillar of light, "Why do they call this thing 'The Furnace'." ”

"Those two pieces of equipment just now...... Synthesized? Xue Lingbing in the back asked in surprise.

"No, to be exact...... It's reorganized. ”

Hank waved the great axe in his hand, "They have been inexplicably turned into a brand new piece of equipment, and even the magic attached to them has been altered, the kind of thing that takes the best craftsmen the longest time to do...... This thing can be done in an instant. ”

"Please don't ask me why, because I don't know why." Looking at the puzzled eyes projected by the two people, the man smiled and waved the axe in his hand: "But...... Why did the underground black market in the past always have batches of good goods, and why Cornelius's Carbindbor was so strong...... It's probably all on this thing. ”

"That's why there were competitors later, and then there were restorationists."

Duan Qing groaned and said, "That's why those people want to take this city so much, that's why the nobles will compromise, and that's why the Imperial people are so eager to enter Tania......"

"What do you say, you say...... Restorationists? ”

"Yes, Restorer."

Facing Hank's question, Duan Qing admitted without hesitation: "You should have heard of this name, although it is not sure yet, they should be the true identity of those mysterious people, that is to say, ......"

"This thing may be a legacy of the Old Magic Empire." He looked at the surface of the purple and red pillars of light: "That's why they know how to use these." ”

"Uh-huh-hmm...... I see. ”

Hank, who was on the side, was carrying a freshly baked axe, and suddenly let out a dull laugh, but Xue Lingphantom Ice, who walked in front of the pillar of light, suddenly turned around and whispered in the direction where Duan Qing was, "Qingshan, look. ”

"See what?"

"You'll find out if you give it a try."

Retracting his gaze from the woman's strange face, Duan Qing also walked in the direction of the pillar of light, and then while stretching out one of his hands, he received a long-lost prompt from the system: "Please choose ......"

【Please select a fusion material.】 】

“……”

The sound of energy flowing was accompanied by the wordless gaze between the two people, pulsating in the air between them in an orderly manner, and Duan Qing, who was staring at him, suddenly turned around after a long time and hurriedly walked towards the road he came from: "Can't waste, can't waste it......"

“…… Where are you going? ”

"In the previous list of rewards, I remember a long list of standard weapons......"

Duan Qingtou, who walked out of the door, said without looking back.

"I've got to get them back."
