Chapter 28 The Light Reappears
"Hehehehe, hehehehe." One rubbed his waist and the other rubbed his thigh. The two bastards had a mean smile on their faces, groaning and letting out a proud laugh.It must be admitted that once someone commits public outrage, even if he is the key protector who unlocks and breaks doors, even if he is the core spiritual leader of the team, he will still be beaten.

For most of the intelligent creatures in Parvatiga, tens of thousands of gold coins is indeed an astronomical figure. They dare not even think about it. Even those mercenaries who are born and die can't earn it even if they live frugally and work hard for several years. With so much money, I am afraid that only high-level mercenaries who are at the top of the mercenary world can get such high remuneration.

However, Shadow Chasers are different. Shadow Chasers are pioneers and explorers. They are looking for treasures that have never been seen in the world. The risks they take are much higher than ordinary mercenaries, and their income is naturally much higher than ordinary mercenaries.It is a very common income for each person to get two to three thousand gold coins from a shadow chase. As long as you are willing to take risks and chase shadows frequently and have better luck, you can get ten to twenty thousand gold coins in a year or two.Therefore, this level of income shrinkage has not exceeded everyone's mental capacity.

The main reason is that these two bastards are too mean. They deliberately provoke everyone's mood, pass their own pain onto other people and take pleasure in it. It's no wonder that even people like Saff who always defend Shuer can't help it. He pinched him hard several times from behind.

"Okay, okay, everyone has vented their anger, calm down now, anyway, the harvest now has already exceeded expectations." Xiuer waved the cute god-given metal in his hand, and squeezed towards everyone with a smile Now, as for whether he really wanted to tease everyone, or took the opportunity to alleviate everyone's disappointment because of gain and loss, it is not known.

"Actually, the harvest is more than this. God-given metal will not emit curse energy. Since there is such a strong curse power inside this building, there must be curse metal. Mia, what do you think?"

"Looking at their energy supply equipment, it should be through some unknown method that uses the cursed power emitted by the cursed metal to convert it into energy for the city's operation and transmit it to every corner of the city." Elf Mage He took the most expensive metal rod, stroked it gently through the protective suit, and said, "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 Parvatiga, it will be a money-making machine, but this is not realistic."

"It is indeed unrealistic. After all, the rules of the world are different. There has never been any precedent of using the power of curses in Parvatiga." Shuer shook his head and said, "And we can't take such a complicated machine away, so we don't want this kind of fantasy. Got it."

"I'm not imagining, but I'm explaining a problem. In our eyes, the pure, flawless and lovely god-given metals are just wastes like soot or blank spar to those frogs. What they are really useful for is The unconverted cursed metal is naturally stored in the warehouse on the left that exudes the power of the curse."

Mia was right, the warehouse was indeed filled with strong curse power. Fortunately, the protection of the protective clothing and the different energy protection in each person's body prevented them from being harmed.I think those frogs wouldn't dare to stay in the warehouse for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't survive for a few years even if they were wearing protective clothing.

The warehouse was actually very empty, with dozens of heavy lead boxes neatly arranged. When you opened it, you found that although most of them were empty, there were at least seven or eight lead boxes containing a piece of cursed metal of the same thickness.These are not as safe as God-given metals. They are so dangerous that no one dares to touch them with their hands. Even after only opening it for a few seconds, Shuuer had to close the lid again to avoid hitting the target. Shadowers cause irreversible damage.

"You guys stay away, Mia is coming with me." Shuer thought for a while, the protective clothing has limited effect, and a protective barrier is more secure.

Leaving the others above, Shuer and Mia carried three heavy lead boxes down to the bottom of the device, filling the cursed metal into the slots one by one.Although in theory, filling only one can keep the equipment running, but that is just a theory after all. No one wants to take the risk of causing damage to the equipment, just to save two pieces of cursed metal. It is completely unnecessary.

After loading the metal, the hatches were closed one by one. Soon, an extremely weak tremor came from the equipment, and only the sensitivity of these professionals could detect it.

"It's done." The two of them gave each other a thumbs up through the transparent helmets. Although there was no obvious change yet, judging from the mechanical reaction, putting in the cursed metal had already produced an effect.

"It's bright, it's bright." From the platform dozens of meters high, the dwarf's penetrating roar came, "Those glass planes are lit up."

"Let's go up and have a look." The rewards obtained after hard work are always so joyful. Even a person as cold as Mia has a smile on her face. Although restoring the energy supply does not bring any fundamental changes, it can make people feel happy. The search is simpler, and it can go one step further away from the projection. For the shadow chasers, this is the greatest success.

Just halfway up the stairs, a mechanical voice came from inside the cylinder. Although I couldn't understand what was said, the voice repeated several times in a row. It must be a reminder that the device has been activated. However, since the voice prompt has appeared, that means the next step is...

"Close your eyes."

While prompting the exit, Xiuer quickly closed his eyes, followed by the dwarf's screams resounding all around: "I'm blind, my eyes are about to be blinded, ahh, my eyes."

"Poor guy." Shuer's sympathy had no credibility, and his sense of gloating was almost substantive.Slowly opening his eyes, he gradually adapted to the surrounding brightness. Ever since he escaped from the threat of plants and entered the cave, the long-lost brightness finally reappeared.The enclosed indoor light was dazzling, as bright as the sun, and even the surrounding metal shone in the light.

"Yeah, it's light, it's light." Every shadow chaser cheered with joy, even the most introverted and shy Sapphire. For most normal people, light is always inspiring. No one hates light.

"Don't be happy too early." Many times, the role played by the captain is not pleasing to the eye, especially when everyone is excited, he must play the role of destroying the atmosphere. "What is lit up now is just this room, this building. There is also the cave where the entire energy supply center is located, and even the entire underground city outside. It is not certain whether the energy supply in those areas has been restored. If the energy pipeline is broken somewhere, I am afraid our joy will be in vain. In the end It is better to escape from this projection world in the dark."

"Don't say it's so scary, Xiuer." Moriya maintained her humanoid form, and her walking and standing postures were always so awkward, "If you're worried, go out and have a look, hee, I can finally take off this stupid clothes Lost."

Indeed, as long as you leave this building, or even reach the locker room, you can take off your protective clothing, but what Lin Jing hopes is to return to the state of standing on four legs.

Of course Shuer would not refuse such a reasonable request. After all, this was the only detection method.Fortunately, the worst case scenario he was worried about did not occur. At least until he took off his protective clothing and returned to the small cave where the energy supply center was located, there was still light all around.

"Hahaha, the great dwarf is finally freed from ridiculous clothes." Mobak rubbed his shaggy beard, raised his ax and laughed loudly, "I never want to wear such uncomfortable clothes again."

"That's not necessarily true." Shuer poured a basin of cold water on his head without hesitation. "There are at least five cursed metals inside. Now we need to discuss how to deal with them."

This is indeed a troublesome problem. God-given metals are safe and harmless and can be stored at will and taken out in packages, but cursed metals are different.Even if the thing is contained in a half-meter-thick lead box, the power of the curse is still spreading outward crazily, enough to kill a large group of ordinary people in a short period of time.Even among the shadow chasers, if they dare to carry it with them for a long time, I am afraid that none of them will be able to return to Parvadiga alive.

"Five cursed metals, although very dangerous, but if you sell them, it will be a considerable sum, enough for Lisa..."

"Stop, boss, let's not mention Lisa for now." The halfling risked his life to interrupt Xiure's habitual association.

"You know what, Lisa is the cutest." Although he glared at the halfling, Xiuer calmed down his thoughts rationally, "But if you want to make money, you have to spend your life. If you want to save them To bring it back, I’m afraid I have to make a lead cabinet several meters thick, and I have to maintain the protective curse barrier inside the lead cabinet. Let’s not mention the feasibility of building a lead cabinet here, even if it is built, how? Taking it back is still a problem.”

"Don't you think it's a little early for you to worry?" The Necromancer rolled his eyes and said angrily, "It's too late to worry about this kind of problem before leaving. According to you, the cursed metal won't escape. . Right, Seren, well, I know you must agree with what I said, and I don’t know who said it just now. The most important thing now is to confirm whether the energy supply of the entire city has been restored."

"Uh, tell Salem for me, we're going to have bone broth tonight, he's the raw material."

Although she decided not to pay attention to the necromancer who was having fun playing two roles, she was right about one thing. The most urgent task now was to confirm the results of her efforts.As for the confirmation method, it couldn't be simpler. Just open the door between the cave of China Unicom Energy Supply Center and the main city, and take a look outside...

"Bang", the door that was just opened was closed again by Xiu Er forcefully.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Several people asked with their eyes at the same time.

"It's nothing. I think I opened the door incorrectly. I need to close it and reopen it."
