Chapter 43: The Assassin's Standard Skill "Bloodthirsty"
The copy of the Addermire Institute is not very difficult.
With Her Majesty Emily's skills, it was easy to take out the soldiers of the Davidians, and the only thing worth caring about was the monarch killer himself.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with, the point is only what choice Emily will make - whether to kill the murderer who put her in a crisis of trust, or to solve the problem with gentle means as much as possible?
Mo Chen was reluctant to get involved, because it was Her Majesty's own business, and he couldn't and shouldn't get involved.
Since he was not ready to interfere, it would be a waste of time to follow the past, so Mo Chen naturally made other choices.
Addermire Station has been cleared by Her Majesty Queen Emily, but the Tech Officer will only come once at the start of the shift change, so he is not among them.
Therefore, Mo Chen was not able to find the charger device, but this was expected, he was not too frustrated, but decided to wait for a while, and then go to the black store to buy adjustment tools - there is everything there anyway.
It's just that the light curtain generator is more cumbersome, and the electronic coils on both sides alone add up to 70 or 80 kilograms, not to mention the supporting whale oil power generation device and whale oil barrel reserves.
Therefore, it seems unlikely that I will carry it back directly.
And if you really want to do this, it is easy to attract the suspicion and attention of your allies, so you must avoid them.
After thinking for a while, Mo Chen decided to dismantle this set of equipment first, and then prepare all of them with the whale oil power generation device, whale oil reserves, and rewiring tools, and then find a hidden place by the dock to hide.
Anyway, it's so chaotic there, it shouldn't be difficult to find a place to hide things.
When I got back, I drove the dinghy by myself and moved them all...... It's a bit of a long way to go, but it's necessary.
As long as there is such a set of equipment in the basement of Mo Chen's own house, then it is enough to rise to a very high height, not to mention that it can withstand the state machine, but in addition-
Any petty thief or lone thief, as long as he moves something that he shouldn't have and puts it into action, then there will only be one ending, that is, he will become scum.
Maybe it's okay for them not to go through the front door, and it's also a way to find a way to dig through the basement from other places, but the average person is not capable of doing such a big project.
And after Mo Chen prepares the Arc Tower in the future, no matter where the undesirable comes in, it will be a dead end.
He pulled out the folding knife, and with a slight shake, the sharp blade popped out.
That's right, it's time to start the demolition work.
After about half an hour.
The Davids' change of defense still hasn't entered the next round, and there are no other soldiers who have even come to check it. However, Mo Chen had successfully dismantled the equipment of the light curtain generator completely and carefully.
Immediately afterward, he began to stealthily and quickly run back and forth, relying on the magic ability of flickering teleportation, and unknowingly divided several times, moving the light curtain generator, the whale oil power generator, and multiple barrels of whale oil reserves to the dock area.
Then he found a dark, remote and abandoned apartment building.
The apartment building has four floors, and it was abandoned because there seems to have been a serious bloodfly infestation inside -
Bloodflies are very dangerous and terrifying parasitic insects, and one of them is the size of an adult's palm, as if it is said to be an original species of the Sokonos continent, and Mo Chen is not too clear.
Like a colony of bees, they gather in large numbers to build fleshy red nests, usually choosing to nest in the corpses of the dead and abandoned houses. They viciously guard their nests, attacking anything that gets too close.
The average bloodfly is not too threatening when the number is small, but if it starts to swarm in groups, the aggression increases dramatically, and the large number of bloodflies is enough to kill an adult in just a dozen seconds.
Even if they are not killed, they are quite deadly, as they spread a disease called "bloodfly fever".
This is an incurable disease, in which the brains of patients in advanced stages are eroded and controlled, and a large number of parasites lay eggs in their bodies, and they are actively protected by the nests of blood flies, forming a strange and short-lived symbiotic relationship.
Until these unlucky eggs finally die and the corpses become the new nest again......
Truth be told, one of the main problems in Karnaca right now is the uncontrolled spread of the disease.
Although Dr. Alexandra Hypatia began researching anti-bloodfly fever agents and had had initial results, the new Duke heard the news and put her under house arrest, causing the project to be halted.
Of course, this is a superficial statement that has been widely circulated among the people, but the people believe it very much.
They felt that a kind doctor could help them develop a potion against bloodfly infection, but the new duke obviously didn't want to see such a thing develop, so he rudely interrupted the progress of the project.
The ruler simply didn't want to see his people alive and healthy, cruel and tyrannical.
The people complained one after another.
Judging from such a boiling of public resentment, even if the empress does not trouble the new duke later, he will sooner or later be burned at the stake by his own people, and burned to ashes -
But at this moment, that waste should not have thought that he would have such an encounter, he didn't even think that he would be in any danger.
However, this is also normal, whenever a huge empire reaches a dangerous turbulent period, the corruption of the aristocracy is quite serious.
It's not so much corruption as their IQ has degraded, and there are too many examples to illustrate.
It's like the enemy has already hit the capital, and how many big nobles are still clinging to their wealth and refuse to let go, and they are even unwilling to take out some of it to boost their morale......
Until the city was finally broken by the enemy, Wanguan's family property was looted, and his family, wife and daughter were slaughtered like pigs and dogs.
At that time, they watched all this happen, it must have been because they got what they wanted and asked for benevolence, so they laughed under the nine springs.
Mo Chen didn't care about the law of "meat eaters", he just quickly cleaned up the apartment building in the dock area where the bloodfly infestation broke out, and used it as a place for himself to temporarily store his belongings.
Bloodfly infection is very scary for ordinary people, the general public's constitution is not enough to produce sufficient immunity, and the overseers and guards have a better constitution, but there is also a risk of infection, and there is no specific medicine at present.
So, whoever it is, will avoid these places, seal off the buildings where the bloodfly nests have appeared, and wait for the Davids - usually let them delay and delay until they can't drag it anymore, and then clean it up.
Therefore, it is safe to keep things in there, at least until you come and pick them up.
Next, Mo Chen simply went back to the Overseer outpost and brought back all the valuable things together. The process went smoothly, the outpost was very quiet, and all the Overseers lay quietly in their rooms, happily dried in pools of blood.
Therefore, no one expressed an opinion on Mo Chen's indiscretion.
After quickly and unnoticed, Mo Chen sorted out all the things he was going to take away, and then looked at the blood amber all over the ground.
These were the ones he had cleaned up when he had just cleaned up the fly's nest, and they were crystal clear like blood-colored amber all over the body, each one the size of a football ball, and exuding a strange scent like blood.
Quite a valuable thing, the reason why many poor people risk their lives to take over the work of removing blood flies, in addition to their own relatively good pay, is also for this kind of thing.
INTERVIEWER Maybe it's some kind of special pharmaceutical material?
In fact, Mo Chen didn't know too much, but he knew that this thing could be sold at a high price, and even if it was exposed openly on the street, the guards of the David team might directly kill people and sell goods.
So, do you want to take this thing and sell it, and then exchange it for useful materials for yourself?
Karnaca is full of black market shops, and it can be found in every area. If, as Empress Emily said, any family had a reserve of three ancient runes, then they should not let go of this opportunity.
He pondered for a moment, picked up a piece of blood-colored amber and pondered it, and slowly came up with a general idea.
……
……
Minutes and seconds passed, and slowly, night fell in Karnaca.
After Mo Chen had everything done, he returned to the edge of the dock and waited quietly, wearing long trousers, boots, and a black jacket, he was a little out of place with the people here in the dock area.
But he didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking about the real gains he had gained this time-
The Overseer's outpost found fourteen runes and used seven of them themselves. After that, he sold the blood amber through the black market system, and then ran as far as he could to the four black markets in the nearby area again, and bought nine more runes.
Five pieces were used up when the Overseer's outpost was strengthened, but it still strengthened the power it had mastered.
However, after consulting the Outsider, Mo Chen also used the remaining two runes directly, and successfully mastered the magic ability called "Bloodthirsty".
This is a kind of magic ability that actively triggers itself into a state similar to an adrenaline explosion, which can greatly increase muscle explosiveness and nerve reflexes, and comprehensively and efficiently improve one's physical fitness.
In this state, the superpowered assassin has the terrifying power of the front, the power of the instant explosion, and can almost kill the enemy in unison.
Assassination, sword attacks, parrying, and jumping kills can all cause quite brutal combat accidents, and even a killing machine like a clockwork warrior may not be able to withstand the power of Mo Chen's random knife after activating "bloodthirsty".
Just as the Outsider said, Mo Chen's foundation is far beyond ordinary people, and under the increase of "bloodthirsty", the attack that bursts out is powerful and unimaginably ferocious.
He relied on this skill, combined with the bone talisman of the "Swordsman", to execute the entire Overseer outpost - with lightning speed, he slashed from the roof to the first floor explosively, killing with a single hit.
His speed was too fast, and his blade was too lethal for the Overseers to react.
It's like a gust of wind blowing, and you may have just seen the shadow of an enemy, and the next second he has already rushed past you and cut off your head.
It's not a joke, in the state of "bloodthirsty", Mo Chen even has the confidence to challenge the record of 100 meters and 4 seconds, if it is only twenty or thirty meters away, it is really a knife in his hand, and his head will fall to the ground, and the enemy will not know what is happening.
It can be said that this amplified burst skill, combined with the bone talisman of the "swordsman", greatly improved his combat ability.
However, two pieces of ancient runes can only develop "bloodthirsty" magical abilities, and some more mysterious magic effects seem to need more ancient runes to support them.
Therefore, the nine ancient runes purchased in the black shop, Mo Chen decided not to use them immediately.
He had to wait until he thought it through before deciding what kind of magical abilities to develop.
