Chapter 2 The Role of Mysterious Gems
Old Dick's body was all black, his face was ferocious, and he would die with his eyes closed.
This is not the fault of Li Yinguang. Who told this guy to have done nothing in human affairs for decades before his death?
"Father, I will ask someone to throw it into the smelting furnace for you later. After it is burned, there will be no slag left. You must be a good person in your next life!"
Li Yinguang stretched, with a bright smile on his face. From now on, the armored ship "Castle" and all the property in Old Dick's name belong to him.
"Old fool!"
After tidying up the leather tights and the slightly longer cloak, he opened the secret room door and walked out. He wanted to welcome the new life after time travel.
"Honey, are you done?"
Li Yinguang was startled. A thin dark woman at the door, wearing a gray-white cloak and long skirt in the medieval Western European style, looked at him with a fake smile and eyes full of viciousness, ferocity and greed.
Standing next to him was a tall, strong man whose head was completely wrapped by machinery, leaving only half of his face and his eyes exposed.
and the cyborg dog that guards the gate.
The thin dark woman is Old Dick's mean wife Alma, and the strong man is Golda, the steward of the Castle.
"It's done, seizing the body went smoothly. Now I have taken over this body. Hey, being young is so good!" Li Yinguang said with a grin as he looked at Old Dick's behavior.
Regarding the doubtful cyborg-modified dog, I went over and kicked it in the legs, saying to myself, "Look, sir, recognize the reality and decide who is the master."
Before Old Dick entered the secret room to seize the body of the down-and-out aristocrat Bruce, he had already made clear his funeral arrangements.
"Tell two people to go in and throw the old fool...my body into the smelting furnace at the bottom of the Iron Armor City and burn it as fuel!"
He waved his hand towards the secret room and walked outside.
Alma and the housekeeper Golda looked at each other with a little uncertainty in their eyes, but they did not dare to act rashly.
After Li Yinguang walked away, Alma raised her hand, wiped her neck with a sinister look, and whispered: "I will find an opportunity to kill him at night."
The two of them had been secretly confused for a long time, and poor old Dick was still kept in the dark about being cuckolded. Originally, Old Dick was about to be put into a coffin, but who would have thought that he actually knew the method of "seizing a body" in alchemy?
', so Old Dick's wife and housekeeper wanted to kill him very early, but they didn't seize the opportunity.
"Something is going wrong. The mean wife of the old fool's adoptive father is flirting with the housekeeper behind his back. There is probably something shady going on here."
Li Yinguang came to the top floor of the Castle, which was also the command room of the Iron Armored City.
Sitting on a metal chair full of steampunk style, frowning, Old Dick might be able to calm Alma and the housekeeper when he was alive, but he was not sure.
When I came out of the secret room of the cabin just now, when I saw Alma and Golda, and the cyborg dog lying at my feet, the 'mysterious gem' in my heart trembled.
After some kind of spiritual reminder, Alma has the blood of the black bat, and the rich and powerful butler Golda has the blood of the strong bear clan.
Even the pet dog owned by Old Dick at his feet was transformed from Snowy Wolf.
Li Yinguang also didn't expect that the 'mysterious gem' the size of a fingernail that was sewn into Old Dick's heart could have such a use.
Moreover, the murderous aura on Alma and the housekeeper Golda was quite obvious, but it was barely written on their faces.
Therefore, if I want to live well in the iron-clad city of the Castle and take possession of Old Dick's inheritance, I must also be on guard against these two guys.
"Alma may have to be killed first, and we can't keep him. As for the housekeeper Goldar, the big and fat guy still has some use on the Castle. Let's look back and talk about it later!"
Li Yinguang muttered to himself, stood up from the metal chair with a strong steampunk style, and walked towards the room behind the command room.
In the ‘treasure storage room’, most of the treasures that Old Dick collected during his lifetime were stored in it. Only he knew the password for the mechanism on the door.
I'm afraid this is another reason why Alma and the housekeeper didn't kill him directly. Both the storage room and the castle need to activate the mechanical code locks to "recognize the owner".
There are many things in the treasure storage room, from mechanical parts, to metal ores, to herbs and insect eggs, there are many kinds of things.
However, it also allowed Li Yinguang to further explore the usefulness of the 'mysterious gem' in his heart. It could actually obtain detailed data on the treasure.
The prerequisite is that you must be able to touch it first!
"Put in a little 'thunder ore' to create a 'hammer'."
"Add mithril to create a slender coffin nail chisel."
Li Yinguang first found these two items from the treasure storage room. Thunder ore is the nemesis of evil creatures, while mithril has a killing effect on blood-sucking creatures.
After hesitating for a moment, he took a pair of metal shackles and a 'Softening Vanilla' fruit from the treasure shelf.
Then he turned around and walked out.
During dinner time, in the huge restaurant, only Li Yinguang and the dark-skinned Alma were sitting on chairs. Although the tableware on the table in front of them was made of silver, it had obvious traces of being used for a long time.
"My dear, try this piece of meat. I roasted it specially to celebrate your rebirth." Alma had a fake smile on her face.
Every time he heard her call him "honey", Li Yinguang felt uncomfortable all over.
Next to the long dining table, the butler Gorda, with a gray white towel draped on his mechanical arm, bent down to pour wine, acting as a servant.
When the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand touch the large piece of barbecue on the plate, the mysterious gem prompts in my heart:
"Beef soaked in compound poisons, with a large amount of spices added during roasting, has successfully masked the smell and is full of aroma. You will be poisoned after eating it, but you will not die immediately!"
The smile on Li Yinguang's face did not change. He pierced the meat cut into small pieces with a fork, raised it to his mouth, and put it back under the attentive gaze of Alma and the housekeeper.
"Oh, in order to 'seize the body', I took a lot of supplements today, and now I really can't eat any. Well, Goda, you have worked hard these days, so I will reward you with this plate of barbecue!"
There was a trace of malice in Alma's eyes, but she immediately covered it up and said with a smile: "Gorda, why don't you thank the master quickly."
Facing Li Yinguang, he giggled and said, "We are still a little uncomfortable with your 'new body'."
Then he put down the tableware in his hands, licked his lips, said with a sincere look and a smile: "Since I have no appetite, my dear, why don't we go back to the room and let me taste the taste of a young body."
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered and he smiled. According to Old Dick's character, he would not refuse Alma's invitation.
At the same time, he couldn't refuse.
The bedroom is a private space, and Goldar will definitely not follow him in, so he can separate the two people and defeat them one by one.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
