through the dark road

Chapter 379
While they were roughly looking at the equipment, the things in the stone room were also rapidly decreasing. Mo Bei didn't even spare the display racks, and dragged them into the inventory.

"It's a rune! There are also skeletons, and they are all placed on this side!"

He casually opened a one-person-high storage cabinet, and he saw that the small partitions inside were full of gray-black stones and small gray-white skulls, the number of which was as many as two to three hundred, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Compared with those gems just now, this amount is pitifully small, but the burst rate of runes and skeletons is really ethereal, and the demand is not low. It is amazing to be able to hoard so many.

Probably because the prices of rune stones and skulls fluctuate greatly, and double prices may not be available when needed, so they are not placed together with hard currencies with stable prices such as gold coins and gems.

The highest-level rune is No. 19 Farr, which requires level 41. When inlaid on all types of equipment, it will increase the power by 10 points. There are two in total.

Other runes are also very complete, especially No. 7 to No. 13, which are currently in high demand and cost-effective. , that is not distressed at all.

And now that he has a huge amount of synthetic materials, and he can also use the Horadric Cube to train his mental strength, the days to come are simply beautiful.

In addition, with a lot of gold coins in their hands, they really have the confidence to do things this time in Caldeum City, and the ultimate goal is no longer just conservative intelligence. If you have money, you can't be willful ! ?

On the wall on one side of the stone room, there are stacked boxes full of metal ingots. Mo Bei can also recognize Thorium, Wujin, and a small amount of Mithril, as well as a dozen other kinds of metal ingots. He didn't recognize any metal with special texture or halo.

The materials that can be placed here are all very rare materials. Gold coins and precious stones are piled up randomly, but these metal ingots are neatly stacked, and some of them even have paper seals, which shows their preciousness.

There are also two sets of noble robes of different sizes, as well as matching swords, which are all treasured and placed in a very exquisite crystal cabinet.Like the outfit that Jerhyne prepared for Mo Bei, it was extremely luxurious.

But the overly colorful colors and exaggerated shapes reminded Mo Bei of clown costumes. He felt that it was incomparable with his own set, and he couldn't accept this exotic style of painting.

If this is a noble dinner, isn't it like a lantern parade?

These two outfits should have belonged to Conrad's ancestors, but they were not buried here, but they were put here to be passed on from generation to generation.

Thinking of the burial objects, Mo Bei thought again whether he should visit their ancestral grave. .

At this moment, not only is his mind active, but the action of collecting in his hands has not stopped for a moment.

"These two boxes are nice."

He threw the two sets of noble costumes and the two jeweled swords into a pile of broken equipment, but put away the two crystal cabinets, thinking of using them as decorations in the future.

There are quite a lot of things in this stone room, so he didn't have time to take a closer look at many things, so he stuffed them all into the inventory. When the two left, there was really not a hair left in the two stone rooms, only two The sound of people's walking away and Mo Bei's happy laughter echoed in the empty stone room.

Back in the bedroom, there was already a faint light coming in through the gap in the curtains. Mo Bei saw that everything was normal outside the door, and then returned to his place with some fluttering steps.

"Did you find anything?" Alvin asked in a low voice impatiently when he saw him come back.

Mo Bei nodded, but did not answer directly.But seeing that Erwin kept lifting his legs and changing feet, looking a little unsteady, he opened his mouth and said:
"Not at all, I just stood there for less than half the night."

"It's hard to stand still. You don't feel it when you run away. The more we want to stand still, the more we want to move..." Alvin complained bitterly.

Mo Bei smiled suddenly, but he could understand.

This kind of standing guard was as normal to the palace guards as eating and drinking, but it was indeed a bit of a torment for Ned Irving.

The two now feel that even a guard post or patrol at the top of the city is much better than this, at least they can walk back and forth, and it is incredible how these people stand like sculptures for hours or even a whole day.

Ned can also meditate to pass the time, but Erwin, a lazy person who can sit instead of standing, and lie down instead of sitting, is really a pain in the ass.

Mo Bei arranged for a guard change, and the six members of the team met in a room to discuss the details of the next move.

At this time, in another luxurious mansion on the east side of the inner city, a fat man with a big beard was bare-chested, gargling his mouth, and letting the maids carefully wipe his fat with wet towels.

The cool touch gradually dispelled the drowsiness, but it could not relieve the slight tinnitus caused by sleepiness, because the reports from his subordinates also made his anger and blood pressure continue to rise.

This fat man is the great nobleman of the Kejistan Kingdom, Theodore and Virgil, who have a considerable status and wealth with Conrad.He is the largest mine owner in Alcanas and Conrad's biggest competitor.

This family made a fortune in quarrying, and developed into a huge force in the process of building Kurast and Trevank. It entered the Land of Gale during the turbulent period of the kingdom, and was one of the most important forces in rebuilding the mining city of Alcanas. One, it also laid the groundwork for where they are today.

Because of his size, he was afraid of heat, so he only put on a lined and breathable silk robe under the service of the maids to cover his bloated body, and sat at the dining table.

Waking up early already made him lose his appetite, and the news from Kurast Harbor made him even more indifferent to eating.Habitually reaching out to the hand holding the glass of cold dewdrops, he paused, as if he didn't want alcohol to affect his judgment at this time, even in the slightest, so he picked up the water glass beside him and drank it down in one gulp.

Virgil's round face and bearded face looked quite simple and honest, but the occasional coldness in his eyes at this time somewhat destroyed this simple and kind camouflage.

"Full authority to accept..."

He rubbed a piece of fluorite in his hand, muttered sullenly, guessing Conrad's intentions.

A few days ago when Conrad left Caldeum City, he was not able to avoid his eyeliner. The abnormal behavior of his old opponent would definitely not be ignored, and he immediately sent someone to follow him to inquire about information.

However, because in recent years he felt that the Torralan Rainforest was unprofitable, he neglected to operate the intelligence network in Kurast Harbor, and he was slow to obtain information that only circulated among the management, so he did not know until now the whole process.

The situation caught him off guard, and he really didn't expect that this kind of stone, which was laid on the edge of the courtyard flower bed and provided decoration at night, would be something they desperately needed.

Mining and transportation accounted for only a small half of Alcanas Mining's expenses, while the other half was smelting.

The profit of selling ore is very low, and the transportation cost will also increase, which is very uneconomical, which is why they need to build a city for ore smelting.

However, unlike Ernstinger, where there is a vast Salwar forest, and there are few but fine mineral deposits, the energy consumption is not large.

Although the Land of Gale has immeasurable mineral reserves, there is no grass, let alone forests, so the fuel consumption required for smelting has largely limited the development of the mining industry.

Right now they mainly use gems to drive magic circles for smelting. Even with the assistance of mage mercenaries, the consumption is terrible, and the remuneration of mercenaries is definitely not low.

The flux in his hand, which can lower the melting point and improve the quality of the metal, has been tested, and the value it can produce is close to that of a broken gem!

Now Fugil just hates that the information came too late, the agreement between the two countries is not a joke, although he can also get the authorization of Emperor Hakan, but there is no room for maneuvering, so he can only make another plan.

Thinking of this, he stood up and decided to meet his old opponent.
