When Kane and the others left the outpost and found no sign of Burton, they waited where they were.

After waiting for a while, Burton was not seen. Instead, Amis and the others were waiting.

Judging from the tired looks on their faces, it seemed that they were annoyed by the reporters and people from the guild.

"How's it going? Have you joined any good guilds?" Kane asked as he looked at Amys walking over.

Hearing Kane's words, Amys shook his head and then said: "We have not joined any guilds, but I heard you just said that you will create a guild after gold, and I hope you can let us join then."

"Of course, if you are willing to wait, after we create the guild, you will be the first to be invited to join." Kane said with some surprise.

"Then we will wait and see, waiting for the day when you will be promoted to gold."

Amys said with a smile, and then asked when he saw them waiting here.

"Are you waiting for someone here?"

After hearing what Amis said, Kane nodded.

"Really? Then we won't disturb you."

After saying that, Amis took his team and said goodbye to Kane.

Just then, Burton and the others were seen coming out of the passage on the other side, and behind him they could see a somewhat sloppy old man and a confused young man.

"This way, brother." Lombe saw Burton, immediately waved and jumped up to shout.

This sound instantly attracted Burton, and he ran over quickly, followed by an old man and a young man, who also hurriedly followed.

They should have come out very early, but Master Rob said that his calculations reached an important point, so he stayed in the viewing area for a while. As a result, they stayed there until the dungeon threw them out.

"Sorry, I was delayed in there for a while and kept you waiting." Burton said when he arrived in front of Kane and the others.

Then he stepped aside and said, "By the way, Kane and these two are from the Machinery Association and are here specifically to see you."

"From the Mechanical Association?" Kane was a little confused. He was here to recruit people again, right?

After listening to Burton's words, the old man and the young man hurried forward.

Master Rob stretched out his hand to shake hands with Kane politely, but found that his hands were a little dirty, so he wiped them on his body, but gave up when he found that they couldn't be wiped off.

"Hello, I am a master of the Mechanical Association. My name is Rob."

"Hello, I'm Kane."

After listening to Kane's words, Rob nodded and said with some excitement: "Yes, of course I know you are Kane. I have been paying attention to you in the dungeon. Your mechanical construction skills are very strong, and you have invented mechanical devices.

It’s very novel, and it seems that even the core technology is different from the current mainstream..."

The mechanical master seemed to start talking endlessly as soon as he talked about mechanical issues.

The young man behind him stepped forward and interrupted him quickly.

Only then did Master Rob realize what he was doing and said, "Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, you see I can't stop talking about this aspect."

Kane waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this is normal, but you know Burton and you should know that I will not join other organizations."

"Oh, of course, of course." Master Rob nodded after hearing Kane's words, and then said: "It's not that you actually join us, but that you become an honorary member of the Mechanical Association in name."

Kane knew about this operation of becoming an honorary member, and he was quite interested in joining the Machinery Association in this way.

Associational organizations like this are all under the management of the Mist Council. They are relatively loose organizations that mainly spread and develop knowledge based on the names of the associations.

There are many people who like the knowledge represented by a certain association and take a name in such an association or become an honorary member.

It does not affect his or her normal life, and there are no mandatory regulations.

Thinking of this, Kane asked: "Then if you join the Machinery Association in this way, what will you have to pay and what will you gain?"

After hearing Kane's question, Master Rob was actually a little confused. How could he know such trivial things?

Then he turned to look at the young man next to him.

The young man instantly understood what his teacher meant, and hurried forward to communicate with Kane: "Hello, I am Master Rob's apprentice, my name is Dole, Dole Krich. You can just call me Dole.

, I have been watching your performance in the dungeon, it is very strong, especially the machine constructed by your original skills, it is really..."

"Ahem!" Seeing his apprentice's words becoming more and more eccentric, Rob quickly coughed to remind him.

Hearing his teacher's cough, Dole realized what he was going to do.

Looking at the appearance of this master and disciple, Kane and the others were a little amused. They could only say that they were indeed masters and disciples, even their speech and personality were so similar.

Dole calmed down his emotions and spoke again.

"If you become an honorary member of the Machinery Association, it is no different from honorary members of other associations. It is just easier to receive some more advanced knowledge and more comprehensive services than ordinary people.

Correspondingly, there is no need to pay any price, but if you have novel knowledge or information about machinery, you can give it to the association, and the association will also pay the corresponding contribution value.

These contribution points can also be used to exchange for more advanced and core mechanical knowledge and intelligence. If you contribute more, honorary members can also be upgraded. Then you can obtain core knowledge for free, and maybe you can follow the exploration team.

Explore the first-hand, mechanical dungeon with mechanical elements."

After listening to Dole's introduction, Kane nodded. It is indeed very easy to join the association and become an honorary member. It can be said that there are almost no restrictions.

Moreover, you can also acquire more advanced mechanical knowledge, so why not? Kane really needs this knowledge and intelligence.

After a brief thought, Kane nodded and agreed to join the Machinery Association.

"Really? Just agree. We are the first batch of members of the Mechanical Association to come to Hearthfire Keep. We will establish a branch within this period of time. You must come over then. Let's have a good exchange of mechanical knowledge. I am very grateful to you.

I am very interested in those novel technologies.”

Master Rob said hurriedly after seeing Kane's agreement.

"Of course, I will definitely arrive as soon as the association meets with you."

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Let's go first. See you later."

After saying that, Master Rob waved his hand and left with his apprentice.

After watching them leave, Burton also said: "In this case, let's go back quickly."

Then everyone quickly followed Burton back to their home.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw their mother, who was in the living room, waving magic to clean the room, and humming an unknown song.

When she saw Burton and Lombe, she looked happy, walked over and hugged her two sons directly, and then hugged Kane and the others one by one.

"Why are you back so soon? It's only been half a month, hasn't it?"

His mother's question hit Lombe instantly. He was walking around in front of his mother with a stern look on his face, holding in his hand a souvenir after victory, an irregular piece of gold ore.

Looking at the souvenir in Lombe's hand, Danforth knew that Kane and the others had won.

To be honest, she has been a little too busy during this period. Since her son came back, he still doesn't know what level his son's strength has reached. Just looking at the appearance, it seems that he has just established a firm foothold in Yin.

But later she also learned about this exploration competition and knew that almost everyone in this competition came from the Silver Peak or Silver Bottleneck period.

At this time, she felt that her son might fail, but she did not expect that her son would actually win, and it had only been half a month.

"It seems that your strength is much stronger than what you show. Our family has a successor."

After saying this, Danforth came to the window and looked at the weather outside.

"It's not too late now, I'm going out to buy some ingredients and have a good meal tonight."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Everyone looked at Danforth who was in a state of rage.

"Don't mind, that's just the way mother is." Lombe said.

Of course Kane and the others won't mind. After all, they have been with Danvers for so long and they already know her character.

Everyone came and sat around the sofa.

There is a thick cushion next to the sofa, which Denver specially prepared for Claire. It can only be said that although the appearance and behavior seem to be violent, but the heart is very delicate.

After they sat down, Burton asked: "Now that this dungeon has been explored, according to your personality, you will not rest for a long time before going to the next dungeon. Have you chosen the next dungeon?"

After hearing Burton's words, Kane lay on the sofa and shook his head.

"I just finished exploring a dungeon. How can I think about such later things? Let's rest for a few days first."

"Speaking of which, didn't we have a bet before?" Longbei suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yeah, so it's up to Claire to choose which dungeon to explore next." Kane suddenly raised his head and said to Claire next to him.

"Ah?" Claire looked surprised. She had actually forgotten this incident a long time ago and just regarded it as a joke.

Unexpectedly, Kane and the others suddenly became serious. He had never considered this matter at all.

Looking at Claire's expression, Kane smiled and said: "We still have plenty of time, and we will rest here for a while, so you can choose slowly and don't be in a hurry."

After hearing Kane's words, Claire nodded helplessly.

"Okay, then I'll look back and see which dungeons are suitable for us."

Listening to Claire's words, Longbei said: "Don't worry about us, just choose what you like. I'm willing to admit defeat, otherwise how can I win the bet?"

Kane and the others also nodded in agreement.

Everyone was chatting leisurely on the sofa, and the sky outside, which was not very bright, gradually became dim.
