Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rich, Really Rich
"Huh?" everyone's first reaction when they heard this sentence was to open their mouths wide, and they couldn't believe it.
"What's so strange about this, the crystal energy machine needs the spar as fuel for energy, the magic machine needs to be driven by magic power, and even the magic tower has to extract energy from the underground demon vein, and the demon vein ground network is its fuel, if you want to make such a big city come alive, of course you also need fuel, you don't think that these energy sources are generated out of thin air, right? ”
"No, the ......," Shul said with a rare look of awkward panic, scratching his head, "it's that simple?"
"Ah, it's that simple. ”
"Didn't some key piece of equipment explode?"
"Boss, do you think this place looks like it?"
"It's not like the energy pipeline is broken somewhere, and the energy can't be delivered?"
"There's no guarantee that the pipes are actually breaking somewhere, but we'll have to get the equipment up and running again. ”
"It's just that the device is out of power?"
"Everyone, this is crazy, sir. The halfling innocently looked at his teammates around him, "He looks so scary." ”
"Sometimes, people who think too much find themselves thinking about the questions hundreds of times, and the answers are so simple that babies can answer them, and they will indeed be hit crazy. The elven mage's indifferent appearance revealed a deep sense of schadenfreude, "At this time, everyone just needs to be happy." ”
"Ahem, I'm not crazy. Shul habitually patted his face, of course, only the transparent hood, "How can you be sure that there is no fuel?"
"You see, almost all of the glass planes on this machine are not lit up, and it looks like it's stopped. ”
"Well, I see. Shure nodded.
However, this glass plane is still lit up, and it is red, and the words on it are flashing and flashing, which makes people feel ominous no matter how you look at it. But this is actually good news, indicating that the equipment is not stopping, it is still maintaining a minimum operation, and the energy supply for the operation should come from the next door. ”
"Well, that makes sense. "As the captain, one of the things that his teammates like the most is that as long as he is no longer on high alert, others will admit to him, and he will not be like many people, in order to maintain the so-called face.
"Directly below the red plane, see no. With a few men standing on the edge of the platform due to their position below the ground, Macageren pointed far away to the bottom of the cylinder, "There was a pop-open hatch with a hatch on the side. The next one I observed, there is the same hatch here, but the door is closed. ”
"Hmm, I see, you think it's the automatic bounce off when the fuel runs out, prompting the operator to refuel. ”
"Is there anything else?" the halfling asked rhetorically.
"Well, don't you just look at it, the question is, what is their fuel?" Shul pulled out two of the cheapest hedrons, thought about it and took back one again, "I don't think it's going to be a hedrons, right?" ”
"How could I know. The halfling couldn't help but laugh, "Go down and take a look, maybe you can get a clue." ”
The lifting platform cannot be used and can only be taken by stairs. The stairs in this building have a very complete security protection, they will turn every ten meters to prevent them from falling down, and the difference between the steps is less than one meter, which is very convenient for people with inflexible movements to jump, well, at least for frog people.
Leaving three members of the team to guard the doorway, and having Saf and Mia guard the staircase, Shul and Macajeren jumped directly off the platform. One was a thief with nimble hands and feet, and the other was an experienced top fighter in the past, only fifty or sixty meters high, and not a mirror-smooth wall, which was not enough to cause trouble for the two.
Hands and feet on the handrail of the stairs several times to slow down, the two of them are like two fallen leaves, silently falling to the ground, as soon as they landed, the halfling directly escaped into the shadows and disappeared out of thin air, and the divine impact of the universal divine magic that Shuer had prepared upstairs directly erupted, and the divine power pushed away all foreign objects within two meters, preventing any objects from approaching the caster.
However, it turned out that the two of them were too worried, and the bottom was still silent, and there was nothing unusual.
"Let's go. Instead of rushing to inspect the hatch, the two of them first circled around the cylindrical machine, and sure enough, they noticed something different.
There were not one, but three hatches built around the cylinder, and now all three hatches were open, and if Macageren's conclusion was correct, it meant that all three hatches had run out of energy.
If you look closely at the open hatch, the circular hatch is about one meter in diameter, and the rudder-type handle is installed on the hatch, which should be forcibly opened from the outside if necessary. Inside the hatch, a circular slot resembling a drawer can be seen, with a handle for the hand on the surface closest to the outer layer.
"Looks like this is it. The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, although they said that no one knew what fuel was, but in fact, everyone could guess that there was at least a seventy percent chance that the fuel was cursed metal, that is, a treasure that could make everyone a lot of money.
Nodding heavily to each other, the two of them held the handle at the same time and pulled out the slot forcefully, a section of the slot was fixed inside the device, and it could not be completely pulled out, only a part of it could be pulled, but it was enough.
Illuminated by the Crystal Lamp, Shure explored to find an inconspicuous lid directly above the circular slot, pushed the only small switch under the lid, and listened to a mechanical rotation inside the slot, and finally clanged, ejecting a cassette from the side.
At the same time that the cassette popped up, the two had already retreated far away, Shuer's shield propped up, and Macajaren hid behind Shuer. After holding this position and waiting for thirty seconds to confirm that nothing had happened, the two of them leaned forward with anticipation and carefully observed the cassette that popped up.
The cassette is almost solid, made entirely of metal of unknown kind, except for a groove in the middle, a silver metal rod, which is lying quietly in the groove.
The cassette is actually very large, but the metal rod is very thin, only the thickness of a thumb, and the length is about 30 centimeters, round and smooth and shiny, and it looks very cute.
"Lord Luna, may the light of the dark moon stay in my heart forever. Shur rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, his fingers continued to draw circles on his chest, and his mouth kept reciting the prayer of the Darkmoon Church, "God said, you should be merciful in faith, treat every living being with kindness, God said, you must love the world forever......"
"Oh my God, it's not a dream, it's not a dream. The halfling pinched his thigh with his fingers, forgetting to keep holding the helmet, not even noticing the transparent helmet smashing on top of his head.
"Boss, boss, this, this thing isn't cursed metal. Macajelen's voice trembled and he stammered.
"In the name of the Dark Moon, I know. Shul closed his eyes and didn't look at the cute metal rod, and kept taking deep breaths to calm his beating heart, "Of course this is not cursed metal, this is god-given metal." ”
Yes, the truth is far more than everyone imagined, what everyone found was not cursed metal at all, but god-given metal worth more than ten times more than it, and Parvatiga was the most expensive and the most desired treasure for the warriors, God-given metal.
"Whew, whew, whew. "The two of them breathed a lot heavier, this metal rod, at least more than 30 grams by visual inspection, the three hatches should be three god-given metals with a total of about 100 grams, if they are sold, each person can get at least seventy or eighty thousand gold coins, enough for everyone to squander desperately for a few years.
If you don't sell it and make it into a weapon, and incorporate more than ten grams of god-given metal to make a weapon, the energy increase can reach at least 12%, which can already be regarded as the top powerful weapon, and in the future, in the fierce adventure, with this weapon alone, the survival rate can be increased a lot.
"Got rich, really got rich this time. Shuer felt thirsty in his throat, his voice was slightly hoarse, he used to be in a high position in the family, he had taken over the burden of Lisa in the past few years, and he was tormented by the debt behind the church, no wonder he was so excited because of tens of thousands of gold coins.
"I'm going to make two daggers, hehehehehe. The halfling licked his lips and said with a quick breath, "There are no pairs of god-given daggers other than Sheen's fangs and Mike's lies, and this is the third pair, I decided, and it's called Macageren's dexterous fingers." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to fantasize, take out the things first, the treasures in your hands are the real treasures. Shul slowly opened the cassette and carefully took out the metal of the gods, "I forgot what the saying goes? ”
But after a few minutes, Shul regretted saying it to himself, and he realized that sometimes talking nonsense really paid a price, such as at this moment.
The second hatch opened and there was nothing inside, and the third door opened and there was still nothing inside.
"Damn, damn it, damn it, how could this be. Holding the god-given metal in their hands, Shul and Macageren looked stunned, "This damn machine can run normally with only one side of energy?"
Seeing that the wealth in his hand had inexplicably shrunk by one-third, Xiuer felt that the roots of his teeth were itching terribly, and he wanted to bite something in one bite, but after looking at the precious harvest in his hand, he thought about it.
"Go, go up. As an experienced captain, after only a few minutes of struggle, Xiuer successfully returned to normal, gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of pain, can't just let the two of us bear it, hehehehehe, I want everyone to know what it feels like to be desperate after hope is shattered." ”
"Yes, we can't be the only ones who suffer. The halfling also roared viciously, "If you want to die, everyone will die together!"
Two guys who have gone crazy and rush up the stairs as fast as they can. Facing the searching eyes of the two groups of teammates, the calmness on the surface of Xiuer's smile couldn't hide the hideousness behind it: "Everyone, there is good news and bad news to tell you, hehehehe, are you ready?"
