Ten minutes later.

Emily successfully found Anton Sokolov who was imprisoned in the assessment room at the bottom of the Clockwork Mansion, and also met a clockwork soldier who guarded the evaluation room -

However, she did not recklessly step forward in hand-to-hand combat, and fought in close combat with this seemingly inhuman killing machine.

Instead, he used his own advantages to use a stun mine, and then successfully scrapped this thing directly.

However, the moment the stun mine was triggered, the power of the electric field that erupted, which was enough to directly paralyze and scrap the clockwork soldiers, also made Emily break out in a cold sweat.

She finally understood why this thing was dangerous contraband.

Not to mention the coverage, even a two-meter-and-five-meter-tall machine killer like a clockwork warrior can't stand it.

If ordinary people in flesh and blood had withstood the power of the stun mine, they would have been burned to ashes just by hitting the edge.

What kind of "stun mine" is this, isn't it good to call it a "carbonized mine"? Fortunately, she was worried about accidentally injuring Sokolov in a coma from the beginning, so she distanced herself before fighting, otherwise......

The consequences are really unimaginable, she definitely doesn't want to take this old man's ashes back, and she will definitely not be able to explain to Meghan in that case.

Sokolov seemed to have suffered a lot, and was already very weak and tired, and he was much thinner than the impression that Empress Emily remembered.

Looking at the unconscious old man's appearance, Emily let out a long sigh, and then her eyes became determined.

Without further delay, she picked up Sokolov on her back, and then quickly began to return the way she came, preparing to go directly to the hall on the second floor through the fast passage in the laboratory, and then leave the Clockwork Mansion.

The journey was also smooth, but I didn't know that in this mansion, the main focus was originally on the mechanism, but there were very few guards alive.

Or is it because of Jindoshi's broadcast voice before? All the guards didn't know that Jindoshi had been planted, and thought that the owner of this mansion was playing a game of cat and mouse as always, so they didn't care much?

Anyway, it's good, and if it goes well, it's naturally what she's happy to see.

When Empress Emily returned to the lab with Sokolov on her back, she found the remains of the two Clockwork Warriors scattered all over the place, but her allies and Jindoch were nowhere to be found.

However, this should be normal, and perhaps he has forced Jindoshi to take him to the collection of magical creations he has collected.

There are three floors of Kindosh's laboratory, the ground floor is a platform that is not in use for the time being, the middle floor is a platform that is in use for electricity, and the immovable top floor is the main office of Kindosh.

A cylindrical device can be used to raise or lower the platforms on the two floors below, each with three zones.

However, Empress Emily obviously didn't have the idea of exploring this place in detail, and just hurriedly carried Sokolov on her back, and quickly left the laboratory, and left the Clockwork Mansion all the way.

Next, she went through a difficult journey, but in the end, she was able to bring the old man back to the underground waterway and get into Megan's boat safely.

After waiting for about ten minutes, they didn't see Mo Chen rushing over, so they discussed it for a while, and then drove the dinghy and left directly.

I'm afraid it's impossible for the other party to come back in a short time, in that case, let's leave first, send Anton back to the Terror Whipmark, and then let someone come back to pick up the other party.

……

……

Two hours later, Megan Foster drove the dinghy from the Whipmark of Terror to the underground waterways of the Lower Avatar district of Karnaca.

She found that Mo Chen had been waiting there in advance, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting.

"What's the matter, didn't you say you'd meet at the black market store at the station?"

Meghan's first reaction was not to feel immediately relieved, but to ask such a question immediately after turning off the ignition and docking the dinghy, appearing to be quite vigilant in terms of details.

"There was a slight accident, probably the news of Jindoxi's murder has leaked out, and now the whole city is under martial law, especially the area of Avatar ......"

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to point to a somewhat bulging package on the ground next to him.

"Black market shops have also been implicated and have closed their doors early to avoid the limelight – things that may not be able to be sold until the period of martial law has passed and the black market reopens."

"Is that so?" Megan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then let's go back now, I'll sell all these things at a time and exchange them for useful materials for us, you don't have to worry." ”

"That's naturally the best, by the way, I saw Megan before you complained that whale oil is an empire-controlled material, and it's not enough recently."

Mo Chen sighed, then lifted the big package, and looked back behind him as if he had thought of something temporarily.

"So I took this opportunity to bring back a few barrels by the way, do you want to take them with you?"

Megan looked in that direction, and saw that there were more than a dozen barrels of whale oil cans, which were emitting a faint blue light in the shadows, and the corners of her mouth twitched several times:

"It's okay, but it might have to bother you to move here...... And is this "how many barrels"? It's obviously "a dozen barrels". ”

"Ahem, at least there are more of them, and it's better than finding that they are not enough when you want to use them, and in this regard, I have always thought that it is better to use them than to lack them."

Mo Chen lightly jumped into the dinghy with the package, then put down the package with a smile and clapped his hands, turned around and walked in the direction of the whale oil tank, and began to carry them onto the dinghy one by one.

After all, not to mention women and age, Megan's arm has been broken, and Mo Chen naturally doesn't think it's a good idea to let her carry heavy objects.

Two minutes later.

"Be careful...... Isn't that enough, how many barrels of whale oil do you prepare? This weight seems to be a bit heavy. ”

Megan, who clearly felt that the waterline of the dinghy was increasing significantly, couldn't help but frown, even in the front driver's seat.

She never knew that the weight of a dozen barrels of whale oil added together could be so staggering.

However, whale oil, a controlled substance, not only restricts the purchase qualifications, but also the price itself is extremely expensive, and she has never tried to buy more than a dozen barrels at a time.

Therefore, she didn't know how much more than a dozen barrels of whale oil weighed when added together, and at this time, she naturally only reminded her, and she didn't really suspect anything.

"Not much, that's all...... Ahem, it's already okay, Megan, you just need to drive the boat. ”

Mo Chen, who was in the rear, put down the last barrel of whale oil cans, then looked at it, and after laughing dryly, he barely found a place where he could sit down.

Meghan in front of her shook her head, didn't ask anything more, and didn't look back to see what the back of her dinghy was piled up with whale oil cans.

It was only when the dinghy turned and slowly drove out of the underground waterways of the Avatar area that she added unhurriedly:

"Be careful, whale oil canisters will explode if they collide hard. Since you've moved so much back at once, I hope you don't move until you get back on the ship. ”

“…… Understand. ”

"By the way, we were able to successfully rescue Anton this time, thanks to your help. I heard Emily say that it was because you captured Jindosh directly that her actions went so smoothly. ”

Megan seemed to think of something again, and said in a somewhat cautious voice, "I have to thank you." ”

"Well, I don't need that."

Mo Chen stretched out a slender index finger and scratched his cheek, he was the worst at dealing with such a scene, so he quickly changed the topic-

"By the way, there are a lot of good things found in the Clockwork Mansion of Jindosh this time, the number of ancient runes is fifty-four pieces, and if it is divided equally, Empress Emily will also be able to get twenty-seven pieces......"

"There are even more bone talismans, I didn't count them, I just picked out the part with strategic value, and you can sell the rest and exchange them for useful materials for us."

For such a huge gain this time, Mo Chen did not feel strange.

Each level in the game is deliberately restricted, and each map only gives five or six ancient runes, as well as a similar number of bone charms, which is unrealistic.

Ordinary paups who believe in Outsiders have the opportunity to obtain two ancient runes that can be used to build a shrine for Outsider.

Dean of Sentient Beings has been collecting this kind of stuff for many years, and just an outpost is also a lot of inventory.

And Jindoshi, as the right-hand man of the new duke's interest group, the ruler of the continent of Sokonos, has absolutely unimaginably large power, and he is definitely not a recent one to ascend to the throne.

Rather, he had begun to build an army of clockwork warriors several years ago, and at that time he already had a position of power under one man and above ten thousand.

For such a man with enormous power, if he is interested in any field, it stands to reason that two or three years is enough time for him to collect and build a museum-level collection.

Although things like runes and bone talismans are prohibited items on the surface, it is impossible to collect them on a large scale like collecting antiques and jewelry, and the quantity is certainly not satisfactory.

But to say that with Jinduoxi's status, in two or three years, he can only find five or six ancient runes and a dozen bone talismans, which is simply insulting people's intelligence.

If something is particularly rare, it must be the kind that is very difficult to collect in any way.

Instead of the poor who can't eat, they have the opportunity to get two pieces by chance in normal times, and the top nobles of the empire instigated countless people to collect them for two or three years, and they can only get five or six pieces......

Therefore, Mo Chen only felt a little shocked at the beginning, but immediately reacted-

It was normal for Jindoshi to have collected such a number of runes and bone runes.

It's a pity that according to the principle of fairness and investment behavior, Mo Chen can only take half of the fifty-four ancient runes. It's not impossible to swallow it alone, but that will definitely have an impact.

And for Emily, who has a mechanical heart, such a thing can't be hidden.

Otherwise, Mo Chen felt infinitely sorry when he thought about it, it was a full fifty-four ancient runes! If you take it all down, you can directly develop the magic power yourself or try to master the magic field that has stopped from time to time, and I'm afraid you can be sure that you will be sure.

But now it has been cut in half, although it still exceeds the initial expectations, but Mo Chen still feels somewhat disappointed.

However, it is impossible for Megan to know Mo Chen's mental activities, she is only keenly aware of some keys, and turns around and asks:

"It's okay for you to talk to Her Majesty about this kind of thing when you get back to the ship, why do you explain it to me now? …… Or are you going to wait a while and don't get on the boat? ”

Mo Chen blinked, then nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, I want to leave again." ”
