Chapter 27 Got Rich, Really Got Rich

"Huh?" When everyone heard this, their first reaction was to open their mouths in disbelief.

"Isn't this strange? Crystal energy machinery needs crystal stones as fuel for energy supply, and magic machinery needs magic power to drive it. Even the magic tower must extract energy from the underground magic veins. The magic vein network is its fuel. If you want To bring such a large city alive, of course, fuel is needed, and you don’t think that these energy sources are all generated out of thin air.”

"No, that..." Xiure showed a rare expression of awkward panic, scratching his head and said, "Is it that simple?"

"Ah, it's that simple."

"Didn't some key equipment explode?"

"Boss, does it look like this to you?"

"It's not that the energy pipeline is broken somewhere, and the energy cannot be transported?"

"There's no guarantee. Maybe the pipe somewhere is broken, but we won't know until the equipment is put back into operation."

"Is the device just out of power?"

"Everyone, the boss is crazy." The halfling looked at his teammates innocently, "He looks so scary."

"Sometimes, people who think too much find that they have pondered over hundreds of questions, and the answer is actually so simple that even a baby can answer it. They will indeed be shocked and go crazy." There is a hint of indifference in the elf mage's cold appearance. With a strong sense of schadenfreude, "Everyone just needs to be happy at this time."

"Ahem, I'm not crazy." Xiure patted his face habitually. Of course, only the transparent hood was photographed. "How are you sure there is no fuel?"

"Look, almost all the glass surfaces on this device are not bright, and it looks like it has stopped running."

"Yes, I can see it." Shuer nodded.

"However, the glass plane is still lit, and it is red. The words on it are flashing, which makes people feel ominous. But this is actually good news, indicating that the equipment has not stopped. It It is still operating at a minimum level, and the energy supply for operation should come from next door."

"Well, that makes sense." As the captain, what his teammates like the most about Shuuer is that as long as he is no longer in a high-alert state, he will admit what others say is right, and will not do anything to maintain the so-called face like many people do. Tough talk.

"Just below the red plane, can you see it?" Since the location was below the ground, several people stood on the edge of the high platform. Macajerun pointed from a distance near the bottom of the cylinder, "There is a hatch that pops open. There's a hatch on the side. I looked at the one next door and there's the same hatch here, but the door is closed."

"Well, I understand. You think it pops up automatically after the fuel is exhausted, prompting the operator to replenish fuel."

"Is there any other possibility?" the halfling asked.

"Okay, you can tell just by looking at it. The question is, what is their fuel?" Shuer took out two of the cheapest crystals, thought about it and took back one, "I think it must not be crystals." Shi, right."

"How could I know?" The halfling couldn't laugh or cry, "Go down and take a look, maybe you can get some clues."

The lifting platform cannot be used, so you can only use the stairs.The stairs in this building have very complete safety protection. They will turn every ten meters to prevent slipping and rolling down. Moreover, the drop between the steps is less than one meter, which is very convenient for people with inflexible movements to jump. Well, at least This is true for frog people.

Three team members were left to guard the door, and Safu and Mia were asked to guard the stairs. Shuer and Macajlen jumped directly from the platform.One is a thief with nimble hands and feet, and the other is an experienced top fighter in the past. The height is only 60 meters, and it is not a mirror-like smooth wall, which is not enough to cause trouble for the two.

Using their hands and feet on the handrail of the stairs to slow down several times, the two of them fell to the ground quietly like two fallen leaves. As soon as they landed, the halfling escaped directly into the shadows and disappeared into thin air, while Shuuer had prepared a universal weapon upstairs. The divine impact of the divine spell explodes directly, and the divine power pushes away all foreign objects within two meters, preventing any object from getting close to the caster.

However, it turns out that the two of them were overly worried. The ground floor was still silent and nothing was out of the ordinary.

"Let's go." The two did not rush to check the hatch, but first turned around the cylindrical machine, and they found the difference.

There is not one but three hatches built around the cylinder. Now all three hatches are open. If Macajron's conclusion is correct, it means that all the energy in these three hatches has been exhausted.Observe the open hatch carefully. The circular hatch is about one meter in diameter. A rudder-shaped handle is installed on the hatch, which should be forcibly opened from the outside if necessary.Inside the hatch, a circular drawer-like slot can be seen, with a handheld handle on the surface closest to the outer surface.

"It looks like this is it." The two looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. Although they said that no one knew what the fuel was, in fact everyone could guess that the fuel was at least 70.00% The possibility is cursed metal, a treasure that can make everyone a lot of money.

Nodding heavily to each other, the two of them grasped the handle at the same time and pulled out the slot with force. A section of the slot was fixed inside the device and could not be completely pulled out. Only a part of it could be pulled out, but this was enough.

Under the illumination of the crystal energy lamp, Xiuer explored and found an inconspicuous cover directly above the circular slot. He pushed the only small switch under the cover and heard a mechanical rotation inside the slot, followed by a final ding. A cassette pops out from the side.

At the same time as the shadow box popped up, the two of them had already moved far away. Xiuer's shield was propped up, and Macajerun hid behind Xiuer.After waiting in this position for 30 seconds and confirming that nothing unexpected happened, the two of them moved forward expectantly and carefully observed the pop-up cassette.

The shadow box is almost solid, made entirely of an unknown type of metal. There is only a groove in the middle, and a silver metal rod is lying quietly in the groove.

The shadow box is actually very big, but the metal rod is very thin, only about the thickness of a thumb, about thirty centimeters in length, round, smooth and shiny, and looks very cute.

"Lady Luna, may the light of the Dark Moon stay in my heart forever." Shuer rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his eyes again, and continued to draw circles on his chest with his fingers, while he kept chanting the prayers of the Dark Moon Church. Text, "God said, you must take kindness as your belief and treat every living creature with a kind heart. God said, you must love the world forever..."

"Oh my God, this is not a dream, this is not a dream." The halfling pinched his thighs with his fingers, and even forgot to continue to hold up the helmet. He didn't even pay attention when the transparent helmet hit his head.

"Boss, boss, this, this thing is not a cursed metal." Macajerun's voice trembled and he stuttered.

"In the name of the dark moon, I know." Xiu Er closed his eyes not to look at the lovely metal rod, and kept taking deep breaths to calm his beating heart, "Of course this is not a cursed metal, it is a god-given metal. .”

Yes, the truth is far beyond everyone's imagination. What we found was not a cursed metal at all, but a god-given metal worth more than ten times. Parvatiga is the most expensive, and it is also the most desired treasure among warriors. Give metal.

"Hoo, ho, ho." Both of them breathed much heavier. This metal rod weighed at least more than 30 grams by visual inspection. The three hatches should be three god-given metals with a total of about [-] grams. If sold Going out, everyone can get at least [-] to [-] gold coins, which is enough for everyone to squander for a few years.

If you don't sell it and make it into a weapon yourself, and incorporate more than ten grams of god-given metal into the weapon, the energy increase can reach at least 12.00%. It can be regarded as the most powerful weapon. In the fierce adventure in the future, just with this With weapons, the survival rate can be improved a lot.

"I'm getting rich, I'm really getting rich this time." Xiure felt his throat was dry and his voice was slightly hoarse. He once held a high position in the family, but in recent years he has taken over Lisa's burden and was taught by the people behind the church. The torture of debt was excruciating, so it was no wonder that he was so excited over tens of thousands of gold coins.

"I want to make two daggers, hehehehe." The halfling licked his lips and said with rapid breathing, "Except for Xian's fangs and Mike's lies, there are no pairs of god-given daggers. This is the first time. Three pairs, I've decided, and they're called Makajeron's dexterous fingers."

"Don't rush to fantasize. Take out the things first. The treasure you get is the real treasure." Shuer slowly opened the secret box and carefully took out the god-given metal. "Have you forgotten what the saying goes? There is no grasp. The treasure in your hand is the starry sky in the lake."

But after a few minutes, Xiu Er regretted that he had said this very much. He found that sometimes talking nonsense would really pay the price, such as this moment.

The second hatch opened and there was nothing inside. The third hatch opened and there was still nothing inside.

"Damn, damn, damn, how could this happen." Holding the god-given metal in their hands, Shuer and Macajron looked blank, "This damn machine can operate normally with only one side filled with energy? "

Seeing that the wealth he had acquired had shrunk by two-thirds for no apparent reason, Xiure felt that his teeth were itching so badly that he wanted to bite something into pieces, but after looking at the precious harvest in his hand, he decided to forget it after thinking about it.

"Let's go up." As expected of an experienced captain, Xiure successfully returned to normal after struggling for only a few minutes. He gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just let the two of us bear this kind of pain. Hehehehehe, I want everyone to bear it." Everyone knows what despair feels like when hope is shattered.”

"Yes, we can't be the only ones suffering." The halfling also growled viciously, "If we die, everyone will die together!"

The two guys who were already crazy rushed up the stairs as fast as possible.Facing the searching gazes of two groups of teammates, Xiuer's calm smile couldn't hide the ferocity behind him: "Everyone, I have good news and bad news to tell you, hehehehe, are you ready?"
