Hank's words are not exaggerated in the slightest, because the Battle of Tania that shocked the Free Continent on the 11th of Fengyue did indeed affect the underground black market.
Due to the restorationists' previous control of the underground black market, and the subsequent official suppression of gray forces by the Remote Control Principality, several forces from the underground black market and the warrior families that had just set foot here were more or less weakened.
This also caused them to have a conflict that day, and when the imperial army entered the city, they had almost no place to play. Sumili, who had already half withdrawn, and Kazak, who had disappeared, were not in any corner of the underground waterway at that time.
The various robbery gangs and criminal groups that once dominated the underground have also lost their ability and courage. Therefore, when countless members of the restorationists poured out of the passage and mixed with the city guards, they prevented them from cleaning up.
The only people in the underground black market are a group of people led by Queen Maggie, and members of the Warrior Family led by President Hank.
Although judging from the results, their actions are worthy of the title of "warriors".
Hundreds of strong men who followed from the City of Freedom formed into groups and blocked the important branches of each passage in an orderly manner. Then, with their majestic bodies and iron-blooded will, they blocked the city guards and mysterious forces.
The men in black took turns attacking. Naturally, there would be some inevitable casualties, as well as the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, but the leader, the president dressed as a bartender, never retreated from the front line. He kept waving,
The iron fist that smashed an unknown number of heads never stopped. The battle in darkness lasted for an unknown amount of time. The mysterious people in black who had received some instructions began to take the lead in retreating towards the top of the passage. It was not until the nightclub mix led by the iron tower-like Hu Lin that
After the army appeared, this battle, which seemed to be aimed at clearing out the underground black market, finally came to an end with the other party's retreat.
But in Hank's view at the time, this was also a great opportunity.
"There were also some adventurers in the mixed army brought by Hu Lin, and they brought us some news after the blockade." Hank said: "Then we found out... The emperor had broken the gate and had entered the city.
fact."
"So you just charged?" Duan Qing glared: "Or did you charge towards the opponent's lair?"
"No matter which side these people are from, since the Empire is going to kill them, they have to show their true abilities." Hank, with a bandage on his head, smiled and replied: "Valletta
The main street is the sub-trunk of the Arre Street, and it doesn't take much time to get to the Parliament Square. Since the opportunity is so short...then we have to grit our teeth, slap our thighs, and rush towards the furnace."
"At that time, we only had one idea, and that was to occupy that place before the imperial people occupied the principality." He said solemnly: "Even if we can't hold it there in the end... we will solve this problem."
"The so-called solution..." Duan Qing's eyes glowed with a strange light: "Isn't it because we are going to die together?"
"If you can survive, of course it's better not to die." The bartender president replied: "But... we have been here for so many years, and we have never heard that the furnace can be moved, so..."
"If you can't do it, then you have to find a way to fuck him."
He wiped his face with the back of his hand and showed an inadvertent stern smile.
"I didn't realize that you are actually patriots in the black market." Duan Qing smacked his lips: "As a citizen of the Free City, you are so concerned about the future of the principality..."
"If Tania is destroyed, the principality will naturally have no future." Hank, who was walking in front, shrugged: "So... we are not concerned about the future of the principality, we just... don't want the furnace to fall into the hands of the imperial people.
It’s just in your hand.”
"……oh?"
"The energy contained in the furnace...is beyond your imagination."
Waving to the surrounding soldiers, the bartender began to lead Duan Qing towards the depths of the passage: "Even if we haven't discovered more uses, just these known uses... are enough to make a country...
It's a qualitative leap. We can't guess why the principality officials didn't use it in the past period, but in the days when those mysterious people controlled the furnace, they had a lot of jaw-dropping results.
"
"They should be the first batch of beneficiaries of this furnace, as the goods we intercepted are proof." Hank, who arrived here, pointed to the cargo boxes piled randomly around the passage: "We can't... let the Empire people also
Get these."
"No wonder……"
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had been following behind silently, suddenly made a voice of realization: "The attack power of those enemies is so high, and sometimes the defense is surprisingly high..."
"Is this sister... also one of the participants in the war?"
"Uh... that's right."
Duan Qing scratched his head helplessly, then laughed and avoided the topic: "That is... they used the furnace to create a large number of sophisticated equipment?"
"Yes, and it has already begun to circulate outside." Hank, who was walking in front, replied without looking back: "There are customers here... and there are even adventurers."
"...Is it Wizard?"
Duan Qing murmured in a low voice: "Before the sunset, it seems that I took out a ring that none of us have seen before..."
"What?"
"It's nothing, just suspicion, doubt."
Waving his hand in front of him unnecessarily, Duan Qing continued to ask the other party: "Then what happened next? What happened next?"
"...Later it became the purple beam of light that everyone knows."
Hank's voice deepened as he lowered his head: "We had just arrived near the furnace and started fighting with some people who stayed there. Although we had an advantage in numbers and strength, we wanted the third
It was impossible to break through that defense line for a while. Just when we were about to rush in, the beam of light erupted, and almost no one near that place... survived."
"We can confirm that those people must have a way to activate the furnace, or a way to use it that we don't know about." Hank said decisively: "Otherwise, they would never be able to do this."
"..."
Duan Qing exhaled a long breath as he inexplicably recalled the old man he had met several times in his mind: "That furnace...has there been any change now?"
"……I have no idea."
To Duan Qing's surprise, Hank shook his head and replied: "We from the Warrior House are newcomers to the underground black market, and we usually rely on the skills of some local snakeheads for our supply of goods. As for the original furnace,
Naturally, we don’t know what he looks like. The only people who can see anything are probably the local forces who have been here for a long time, such as Queen Maggie of the nightclub, and the dead Kazak and others..."
"Wait, what are you doing?" Duan Qing asked in shock, "Kazak is dead?"
"This happened later. When we were cleaning the underground sewers, we found his body."
The arc-shaped passage suddenly appeared in front of a group of people, and at the same time, Hank's lamented words appeared: "Probably... they were silenced by them, because we had suspected Kazak a long time ago.
Maybe he's the one who led the city guards to the underground black market."
"The traitor who hid those mysterious people is probably related to him, who is a nobleman behind these forces, but now... everything is unclear."
After finishing this sentence with a secret sigh, Hank, who was walking at the front, signaled to a few strong men guarding the end of the passage, and then led Duan Qing and two others to a huge arch: "This is it."
"...It looks a little familiar."
"Why, have you been to this place before?"
"No, but..."
Looking at Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him, Duan Qing smiled and pushed open the door: "I must have seen it in my dream. This sister behind me..."
"Been fighting here."
The circular corridor, the rotunda illuminated by red light, the vaguely visible square passages, and the huge light pillar in the center... The impressive escape alarm seemed to still be echoing in their ears.
The seemingly distant battle between a woman and a RMB warrior is still vivid in my mind. The scene that once appeared in the League Cup individual competition reappeared in front of Duan Qing. The two people who had a good understanding of each other faced each other.
After taking a look, they walked to the front of the light pillar together, then facing the flat cylindrical fluid surface and the overflowing energy, they asked in a daze: "Is this thing... a furnace?"
"Is it a little different from the furnace you know?"
Hank, who came next with his hands behind his back, also looked up at the top of the light beam: "The source is unknown, the purpose is unknown, the energy he possesses is so huge, but it can flow so smoothly in this small place... Such a miracle,
Even people like me who know nothing about magic can easily identify it, not to mention those guys from the Mages Council and those mysterious people who know how to use it. After hearing that the Empire people were persuaded to withdraw by the Mages Council, our first
Time surrounded this place, and at the same time tried to catch a few escaped guys and interrogate the secrets of this place. Maybe it was bad luck, not a single one of us was left alive. We originally thought that the guys from the Seven-person Council would
We came here to take this thing back, but until now... they haven't made any move."
"Could it be that their conscience has revealed that they really want to keep this thing on the black market?" Hank joked: "Give it to us poor people who have worked hard and achieved great results?"
"Maybe it's because you don't understand anything, so it's okay to give it to you." Duan Qing said expressionlessly: "At least now... I don't see what this thing is for."
"Well...it's very simple."
With a strange light in his eyes, Hank clapped his hands behind him, and then took an ordinary long sword and a pair of shoulder armor from the hands of the two black-clothed warriors who came after him: "Although I have heard this before.
There have been rumors about the use of furnaces, but during the time we were guarding this place... we also experimented with this usage."
"It does work."
As these words fell, Hank suddenly turned around and walked to the front of the light pillar, and then threw the two pieces of equipment in his hand toward the center of the light pillar. The imaginary explosion and energy fluctuations did not appear in Duan Qing's body.
In front of him, there was a clanking sound of metal falling to the ground instead. He looked towards the other end of the light beam, and the doubts in his eyes gradually spread as his eyes widened: "This... this is..."
"This is the ultimate secret of the underground black market, and..."
Leaning over and picking up a brand new giant ax from the ground, Hank pointed in the direction of the light beam: "The reason why they call this thing a 'furnace'."
"The two pieces of equipment just now...were synthesized?" Snow Spirit Huanbing from behind asked in surprise.
"No, exactly...it's been reorganized."
Hank waved the giant ax on his hand: "They were inexplicably turned into a brand new piece of equipment, and even the magic attached to them was changed. This kind of thing requires the best craftsmen and the longest time to do it.
Things...this thing can be done in an instant."
"Please don't ask me the specific reason, because I don't know why." Looking at the doubtful looks cast by the two people, the man smiled and waved the ax on his hand: "But...why did there always appear in the underground black market in the past?"
The batches of good products, and the reason why Connelly’s Cabin Castle is so strong... probably all have to do with this thing."
"That's why later there were competitors and the emergence of restorers."
Duan Qing pondered: "That's why those people want to take over this city so much, that's why the nobles compromise, that's why the empire's people are so eager to break into Tania..."
"What are you, you...restorer?"
"Yes, the Restorer."
Facing Hank's question, Duan Qing admitted indifferently: "You should have heard of this name. Although you are not sure yet, they should be the true identities of those mysterious people, that is..."
"This thing may be a legacy of the ancient magic empire." He looked at the surface of the purple and red light beams flowing with each other: "That's why they know how to use these."
"Hehehehe...that's it."
Hank on the side was holding a freshly baked axe, and suddenly let out a dull laugh. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was walking in front of the light pillar, suddenly turned around and whispered in the direction of Duan Qing: "Qingshan, you
look."
"What are you looking at?"
"You'll know after you try it."
Duan Qing withdrew his gaze from the woman's strange face, and walked towards the direction of the light beam. Then, while extending one of his hands, he received a long-lost prompt from the system: "Please choose...
"
【Please select fusion material.】
"..."
The sound of energy flowing was accompanied by the wordless gaze between the two people, and was pulsating in the air between them in an orderly manner. Duan Qing, who stared for a long time, suddenly turned around and faced the coming time.
He hurriedly walked over: "Can't waste it, can't waste it..."
"...Where are you going?"
"In the previous reward list, I remember there was a long list of standard weapons..."
Duan Qing walked out of the door without looking back.
"I have to get them back quickly."
