Gloomstone City.

It is a famous city on the western border of the Duchy of Soran, and it is famous for its abundance of "black stones".

Black Stone, which is three points harder than steel, has strong defensive capabilities, so it is extremely popular both at home and abroad. As a result, Gloomstone also has a decent tax revenue.

"Woo...... Woohoo......"

On the rails made of iron blue cast iron, a misty white mist erupted from the chimney of the steam locomotive's locomotive, followed by a low whining sound.

Bang dang...... Bang dang...... Bang dang......

Accompanied by the rhythmic roar of the track crash, dozens of rather broken carriages filled with black dark stones slowly departed on the train tracks.

At this time, in the city of Gloomy Rock, there was a rather lively tavern.

Second floor.

Gune sat quietly in a private room, watching the scene in front of him.

In the era of steampunk in this order sequence.

Steam trains, airships, steam wheels, and other giant mechanical creations have also appeared.

At the same time, alchemy, treasure chests, potions, sequence equipment, transcendentals, and the occult also exist in this world.

Order Punk, Gold, Alien Invasion, Rebellion, Utopian Freedom Fighters. The occult and so on, word after word, memory scene after memory, kept popping up in Gune's mind.

A sequence of order of the source pattern era and steampunk unfolded perfectly and clearly in Gune's mind.

Obviously, the main theme of this era of order is - turmoil. These times are not peaceful, and it can even be said to be dangerous.

"In these dark, mysterious, and dangerous times, what reason should I not be the owner of power?" Clenching his fists, Gune said to himself secretly in his heart.

Yesterday traveled through, and today, Gune has gradually begun to come into contact with his memories and gradually integrate into this world.

"Obviously, being the owner of a great power is what I really need to do."

"And, I'm lucky to have an 'elementalist'."

"Elementalist."

Thinking of his identity, Gune meditated and began to think carefully about everything about himself.

Transcendental!

This is the collective name of those who harness mysterious forces in this era.

Elementalists, Source Force Warriors, Sacrifices, Spellcasters, Knights, Rangers, etc., these various sequences of professions are the mysterious power harnessers of this era.

And Gune is an elemental, although Gune is only a "trainee elementalist".

Yes, fourteen years old, Gu Ne, who has a good talent, is just a trainee elementalist of the wood department in the seven natural systems.

Even if he was only a trainee elemental, even Gune had not yet become a first-order elemental.

However, Gune still has supernatural powers.

As a wood-based elementalist, Gunne has a strong resistance to negative factors such as pain, viruses, curses, heat, and cold.

At the same time, Gune also has a strong sense of sight, perception, touch, smell, and source force.

At least, in the face of ordinary people, Gune, who is now an elemental master, can easily kill five or six strong civilians, and in the face of a dozen strong civilians, Gune is also fearless.

After thinking about it, Gu Ne took a deep breath, and then opened his "Alchemy Ring".

Alchemy is a product of this era of order. On the outside, it looks like an ordinary ring, but on the inside, there is an independent space of three to ten cubic meters, which can store a lot of items and materials, and this treasure is very valuable.

The gray-green alchemy ring of Gune was only 3.6 cubic meters of space, but it was worth as much as 90 gold coins.

You know, the purchasing power of a gold coin is quite good.

Fortunately, Gune was the son of a baron who owned a territory and a private castle, otherwise, Gune himself as a trainee elementalist, really didn't have enough money to buy this alchemy ring.

Opening the Alchemy Ring, there were only thirty-four gold coins left in Gune's Alchemy Ring, plus seventy-two silver coins, and a few copper shillings of small denominations.

To deal with his aunt, first of all, Gune had to find out what was going on in his family's castle, the "Castle of Fall".

Of course, Gu Ne himself can't risk his life, after all, once there are some first-order transcendents there, or even second-order transcendents, with Gu Ne's current strength, there is absolutely no return.

Therefore, the first step in Gune was intelligence.

With the information and the specific situation in the castle of Fall, Gune was able to carry out his follow-up plan more perfectly.

"The Rats, while they don't follow the rules and sometimes ask for a lot of money, are like rats in the sewers of the city, and they can always sniff out what's going on in the city of Darkstone. Castle is only a dozen kilometers away from Darkstone City, and it is under the management of Darkstone City, and those guys should be able to provide me with enough information. ”

Thinking about this, Gune has already made a decision.

In the Duchy of Thran, there are many different kinds of forces, large and small. Some of these forces are black, some are white, and some are in the gray zone.

The Rats are such a non-black, unruly, and large-scale gray organization.

Before you know it, night falls.

South side of Gloomstone City.

In an alleyway, the silence is deep.

It was as if at the end of the alleyway there was a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

At the entrance of the alleyway, Gune stood quietly, as if he had become one with the night. His gaze swept over the wooden sign at the entrance. The sandalwood wooden sign glows with gray and misty luster in the moonlight.

Staring at the light and shadow of the rat, Gune retracted his gray robe and stepped into the alleyway.

The wide gray robe wrapped around Gune's body, making it impossible for others to see Gune's true age and face. In this gray area, if you leak your identity, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous, after all, Gune, who is only fourteen years old, in the eyes of others, young age means weakness.

Quickly walking towards the depths of the alleyway, on the way, Gune also met two people in black robes, Gune just walked through on guard, and the two men in black, from their deep eyes, Gune could feel that they also had a deep sense of vigilance against themselves.

In a few moments, Gune came to a wall made of thick black stone, and on top of it there was a small window.

The entire window is made of first-class alloy, and it can be seen from the color of Gune that it must have been the work of an alchemist.

With this alchemist's first-level alloy window, it would be difficult for even a second-level or even third-level transcendent to break through head-on.

With a flip of his hand, a gold coin was thrown by Gune through the window. A gold coin is worth a lot of money, and that's just the entrance fee.

A gold coin landed in the metal frame with a series of crashing sounds, and a moment later, with a click, a small metal sliding window on the window opened.

"What is needed?" A hoarse, deep voice was heard.

"I need all the things that have happened in the entire Castle of Fall in the span of time since the death of Lord Fall, Baron Owen Lawrence." Gune also spoke slowly in a deep voice.

"Pay 20 gold in advance, and after three days, we will give you what you want." The hoarse voice replied.

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Gune stretched out his hand, and a small bag of twenty gold coins fell into the small window.

At the same time, a contract scroll was sent.

This contract scroll is the basis for obtaining information three days later.

The deal was completed, and Goune quickly disappeared into darkness along the alleyway.
