Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Light Returns

"Hehehehe One rubbed his waist, the other rubbed his thighs, and the two bastards had a mean smile on their faces, moaning and smug laughs. It must be admitted that once you commit public anger, even if you are a key protector of locks and doors, even if you are the core spiritual leader of the team, you will be beaten.

For most of the intelligent creatures of Pavatiga, tens of thousands of gold coins are indeed an astronomical amount, and they don't even dare to think about it, even those mercenaries who were born and died, saving money and working hard for a few years, can't earn so much money, I'm afraid that only high-level mercenaries who stand at the top of the mercenary world can afford to get such a high reward.

However, the shadow chasers are different, the shadow chasers are pioneers and explorers, looking for treasures that have never been seen in the world, and the risks are much higher than ordinary mercenaries, and their income is naturally much higher than that of ordinary mercenaries. It is a very common income to harvest two or three thousand gold coins per person at a time, as long as you are willing to take risks and frequently chase shadows, and if you are lucky, in a year or two, one or two thousand gold coins will be in hand. Therefore, this level of income shrinkage is not beyond everyone's ability to bear.

The main thing is that these two bastards are too cheap, deliberately provoking everyone's mood, transferring their own pain to others and taking pleasure in it, so it's no wonder that even someone like Saf, who always defends Shur, can't help but pinch him a few times in the back.

"Okay, okay, everyone's anger has been vented, now calm down, anyway, the current harvest has already exceeded expectations. Shuer waved the lovely god-given metal in his hand and squeezed his eyes at everyone with a smile, as for whether he really wanted to tease everyone, or take the opportunity to alleviate everyone's disappointment caused by gains and losses, it is unknown.

"In fact, the harvest is more than this, God-given metal does not emit curse energy, since there is such a strong curse power inside this building, there must be cursed metal. Mia, what is your opinion?"

"Looking at their set of energy supply equipment, it should be through some way that we don't know, using the curse power emitted by the cursed metal, converting them into energy for the operation of the city, and transmitting them to all corners of the city. The elven mage took the most expensive metal rod and stroked it lightly through the protective suit, "This set of equipment is very interesting, it can quickly extract the power of the curse and convert it into energy, it doesn't take hundreds of years to turn them into god-given metal, if it can be brought back to the world of Pavatiga, it is simply a money-generating machine, however, this is not very realistic." ”

"It's not realistic, after all, the rules of the world are different, and Pavatija has never had a precedent for using the power of a curse. Shuer shook his head and said, "And we can't take such a complicated machine with us, so we still don't have this kind of illusion." ”

"I'm not fantasizing, but I'm illustrating the fact that the pure and lovely god-given metal in our eyes is just a waste of soot or blank spar for those frogs, and what they are really useful for is untransformed cursed metal, so there must still be stock here, and it's in the warehouse that we haven't been paying attention to. ”

What Mia said, and what everyone thought, since the equipment is fueled by cursed metal, then the storage location of the fuel is of course not far away.

Sure enough, the warehouse was filled with a strong curse power, but fortunately, thanks to the protection of protective clothing and the different energy protection in each person's body, they would not be harmed. Those frogs don't dare to stay in the warehouse for a long time, otherwise they won't live for a few years even if they wear protective clothing.

The warehouse was actually very empty, with dozens of heavy lead boxes neatly arranged, and when I opened it, although most of them were empty, there were at least seven or eight lead boxes with a cursed metal of the same thickness stored. It wasn't as safe as god-given metals, they were so dangerous that no one dared to touch them, and even after only a few seconds of opening, Shul had to reclose the lid to avoid irreversible damage to the Shadow Chaser.

"Stay away, Mia with me. Shuer thought about it, the effect of the protective suit is limited, or the protective enchantment is more secure.

Leaving the others behind, Shure and Mia descended to the bottom of the device with three heavy lead boxes in their hands, filling the slots with cursed metal in turn. Theoretically, just one fill would keep the device running, but that's just a theory, and no one wants to risk damage to the device just to put two fewer cursed metals.

Filled with metal, the hatch was closed in turn, and soon there was an extremely faint tremor from the equipment, which could only be detected by the sensitivity of these professionals.

"It's done. Through the transparent helmet, the two of them gave each other thumbs up, and although there was no noticeable change yet, judging by the mechanical reaction, the effect of putting in the cursed metal had already been achieved.

"It's lit, it's lit. On the platform dozens of meters high, there was a penetrating roar of the dwarf, "Those glass planes lit up." ”

"Let's go, go up and have a look. "The harvest after hard work is always so joyful, even Mia's indifferent person, there is a smile on his face, although there is no essential change in the restoration of energy, it can make the search easier, can be one step closer to getting out of the projection, for the shadow chaser, this is the greatest success.

The stairs are just halfway through,Inside the cylinder,There was a voice full of machinery,Although I can't understand what to say,But the voice repeats continuouslyEven if,Presumably the device has started a kind of prompt,However,Since the voice prompt has appeared,It means that the next step is......

"Close your eyes. ”

At the same time as the exit was prompted, Shur had quickly closed his eyes, and immediately after, the dwarf's screams resounded all around: "Blind, my eyes are going to be blinded, ahhhhh ”

"Poor fellow. Schul's sympathy has no credibility, and the meaning of schadenfreude is close to materialization.

Slowly opening his eyes, gradually adjusting to the brightness around him, since entering the cave from the threat of plants, the brightness that had been lost for a long time finally returned. The enclosed interior is brightly lit, almost as bright as in the sun, and even the surrounding metal glistens in the light.

"Yay, it's bright, it's bright. "Everyone who chasers let out a cheer of joy, even the most introverted and shy Saph, for the vast majority of normal people, the light is always uplifting, and no one hates the light.

"Don't be too happy. "Many times, the role played by the captain is not flattering, especially when everyone is excited, he must play the role of destroying the atmosphere, "Now it is only this room that is lit up, this building, and the cave where the entire energy supply center is located, and even a whole underground city outside, whether the energy supply in those areas has been restored is not certain, in case the energy pipeline is broken, I am afraid that we will be empty and happy, and finally we will have to escape from this projection world in the dark." ”

"Don't be so scary, Shure. Moria, in her humanoid form, always walks and stands in such awkward ways, "If you're worried, just go out and have a look, hey, I can finally take off this stupid clothes." ”

It is true that as long as you leave this building, or even as soon as you get to the locker room, you can take off your protective clothing, but what Lin Jing hopes for is probably to return to standing on four legs.

Such a reasonable request, of course, Shuer will not refuse, after all, this is also the only way to detect. Thankfully, the worst he feared didn't happen, at least until he took off his suit and returned to the small cave where the power supply center was located, where the light remained around.

"Hahaha, the great dwarf has finally been freed from his ridiculous clothes. Mobuck rubbed his unkempt beard and raised his axe to laugh, "I don't want to wear such uncomfortable clothes again." ”

"Not necessarily. Without hesitation, Shul poured a basin of cold water on his head, "There are at least five cursed metals in it, and now we need to discuss what to do with it." ”

This is indeed a very troublesome problem, God-given metal is safe and harmless, can be stored at will, and can be taken out in a package, but cursed metal is different. Even if that thing was contained in a half-meter-thick lead box, the power of the curse was spreading out wildly, enough to kill a large group of ordinary people in a short period of time. Even if the shadow chasers dared to carry them with them for half a day, I am afraid that none of them would return to Pavatiga alive.

"Five cursed metals, although they are very dangerous enough, but if they are sold, they are also a lot of money, enough for Lisa ......"

"Stop, sir, let's not mention Lisa yet. The halfling risked his life to interrupt Shuer's habitual association.

"You know the, Lisa is the cutest. Although he glared at the halfling, Xiuer still had a rational way of thinking, "But if you have a life to make money, you have to have a life flower, if you want to bring them back safely, I'm afraid you have to make a lead cabinet a few meters thick, and I also need to maintain the protective curse barrier inside the lead cabinet all the time." Not to mention the feasibility of building a lead cabinet here, even if it is built, how to bring it back is still a problem. ”

"Don't you think your worries are a little early?" the necromancer said angrily, rolling his eyes, "this kind of problem, it's too late to dwell on it when you leave, according to your words, cursed metal won't run." Yes, Ceren, well, I know you must agree with me, and I don't know who said it just now, but the most important thing now is to make sure that the energy supply of the entire city is restored. ”

"Well, tell Ceren for me that I'm going to drink bone broth tonight, he's the raw material. ”

Although she decided not to bother with the necromancer who played two roles on her own and had a lot of fun, she was right about one thing, and the top priority now was to confirm the fruits of her efforts. As for the confirmation method, it couldn't be simpler, just open the door between the cave of the China Unicom Energy Supply Center and the main city, and take a look out......

"Bang", the door that had just been opened was slammed shut by Shuer again.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" several people asked at the same time.

"It's nothing, I think I opened the door in the wrong way and needs to close it and open it again. ”
