Go through the flip door, which is where the few people came down before. But there is no way to guess what is behind the door - if you are lucky, there will be no one inside, and it may lead to the secret hiding place of the blind follower. But if you are bad,
, there might be someone guarding the door behind the door. If it's the latter, a battle is inevitable.
Since the door was tightly closed, Fang Plover had no way to send anything in to investigate, and there was no spell that could penetrate several feet of stone. Moreover, the other party might have been prepared for the spell, and once the spell was cast, it was also possible to be noticed.
The defensive side is always more prepared than the attacking side——
There was an iron ladder hanging below the flip door, and as a thick-skinned professional, Wu Xiaopang did his part and climbed up first. He pushed open the flip door with his shoulder, and with a soft sound, the door opened, but
He glanced inside and froze on the spot.
Everyone below has their weapons in hand, and Fang Plover also summoned the Angel of Power, letting the cold female swordsman stand on one side. If the little fat man on the flip door is attacked, she can immediately launch a counterattack and save the opponent.
However, Fang Yu raised his head and saw his expression, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Wu Xiaopang swallowed and looked like he had seen a ghost: "Boss, boss, you'd better come and take a look...it's a construct..."
"Construct?"
Fang Yu had thought about situations where fighting might or might not happen, but he never expected that there would be unexpected situations.
But he nodded, exchanged positions with the little fat man who was coming down, climbed up the ladder, held the door with his hand and looked inside, and was stunned for the next moment.
It was dark behind the door, and it seemed to be a square hall of artificial construction. However, this warehouse-like building was not filled with large and small boxes, barrels and other supplies as imagined. Instead, it was immersed in the atmosphere.
In the darkness, there were only rows of constructs with their heads lowered and not activated.
Fang Yu first looked to the left. The construct over there was in the form of a human, with four legs and arms folded together. It was about eight feet tall, half a height taller than an adult.
He was startled when he saw the styles of these constructs. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to be there in the darkness, so he boldly opened the door, climbed up, walked to these constructs, and used his hands to
Gently rub it on his chest.
Sure enough, a nameplate was revealed under the dust.
‘e,slvy,074-091.’
This is the meaning of slvy in the Oshur language, which means seven, and e means the imperial military, followed by the number - this line of text means the product of the Imperial Workshop No. 7, number 074-091.
Fang Yu took a breath of air. These structures were not puppet guards or golems, but military flexible structures——
He wiped it off one by one with his hands, and sure enough, every structure had such a nameplate, but the numbers were different, but they all started with 074, which made Fang Yu realize that these were products from the same batch.
But why are there so many military-style structures here?
Or the same batch?
In fact, only the Oshur Empire had combat craftsmen affiliated with the military. Although there were combat craftsmen from Corin-Ithurion participating in major and minor conflicts, most of them were in an individual capacity and in a non-systematic manner.
However, the Oshu Empire has a specialized craftsman war group. The alchemists born in the war group and the craftsmen born in the General Assembly are two different systems. They also use the empire's specialized military standard structures.
For example, the row on his left is a flexible structure called the 'Scavenger', which is a representative of the military-style structure that the Imperial Workshop has further enhanced based on the walker.
Military structures are the same as military magic furnaces. Both pursue reliability. Military structures may not necessarily have better properties than alien structures of the same level, but their reliability and protection in extreme environments are enough to surpass the latter.
street.
Looking at these things, lines of familiar data couldn't help but come to his mind.
The Sweeper, an eighteenth-level military structure, weighs half a ton, has a strength rating of b+, agility rating of b, protective performance of b+, auxiliary performance of d, effective life of 1,600 points without additional equipment, and the main weapon is the Imperial Spear standard magic weapon.
guided gun, and a mk-7 rotary cannon.
Before going to Aitaria, he had always been very interested in combat craftsmen, and he naturally treasured these famous constructs.
This attribute is on par with his Archangel - the latter is far better than the former in terms of agility and assistance, but not as good in strength and protection. In terms of attack, both have their own merits. Archangel has the advantage in attack frequency, but in terms of attack frequency, Archangel has the advantage.
When it comes to breaking through two opposing blades in defense, the foot blade is naturally inferior to the Imperial Spear-type heavy spear.
Moreover, the Archangel is almost a level 19 construct, so its price/performance ratio is not bad, and in terms of durability, the Sweeper is far superior.
However, the Sweepers are the constructs of the previous generation of the Imperial Party. Nowadays, they can also be said to be obsolete. It is understandable that they appear in the warehouses of smugglers.
It’s just that the batch of structures behind him are a bit too much——
Mares Knight, a level 20 military structure, weighs 0.7 tons, has a strength rating of b+, agility rating of c, protective performance of a, and auxiliary capability of d. The effective life without additional equipment is unknown. The main equipment is a heavy alloy shield.
, with a forty millimeter shoulder-fired gun.
This is even more cruel. If Fang Pliance remembers correctly, this is an active military structure of the empire and is not for sale. But when he looked back, he saw these tall man-horse structures in an unactivated state, one next to the other.
Stacked together, stretching to the end of darkness.
I don’t know how many there are…
Fang Yu made a rough estimate. The constructs here are more than enough to arm an entire army. The Oshu Empire has three craftsman battle groups, each with seventy or eighty people. The constructs displayed here are only about one
Standard equipment for the warband.
Of course, whether it is the battle craftsmen of the association or the craftsmen of the Chapter, there is not only one kind of construction, but also a large number of auxiliary constructions such as Clockwork Fairy and Screaming Banshee, but in terms of the main construction, here
There are only a lot more standard configurations to configure.
How did so many main standard structures leak out from the imperial side?
If this was the work of these smugglers, then the other party would be a little too smart.
And what are the blind followers doing by transporting so many constructs to Istania? Even the royal family of Istania may not have the appetite to eat so many flexible constructs.
Or is it that the blind followers have other motives for storing these flexible structures here?
Fang Yu couldn't help but subconsciously associate these things with the legendary 'Wandering Alchemist'. However, what made him feel vaguely uneasy was whether so many flexible structures meant that there were almost as many Wandering Alchemists as a battle group.
?
What is the concept of seventy or eighty full-time combat craftsmen? Together, they might be able to overthrow the regime of Istania.
You must know that such a large empire, monopolizing the resources of a continent, possessing the world's most advanced magical technology, and such huge logistical capabilities can only support three craftsman battle groups - actually two and a half.
If the Wandering Alchemist really has such a scale, Fang Plover can't help but wonder how strong the blind followers are, at least not weaker than the Dragon Worship Cult.
No, it should be said that it is much stronger.
At least according to Fang Plover's knowledge, it is impossible for the Dragon Worship Cult to support seventy or eighty combat craftsmen.
But in fact, the blind followers are much more unknown than the Dragon Worship Cult, and their influence is far inferior to the latter. Even if the blind followers deliberately keep a low profile, the number of followers cannot be faked. The Dragon Worship Cult has followers all over the world.
Kaolin-Ithurian places.
In fact, the blind followers have always been content in the corner of Istania.
This is enough to see the difference.
But if this is not the case, the origin of these military structures cannot be explained.
When Fang Yu really fell into thinking, he heard an exclamation from behind: "I'm rich!"
He turned around and saw that before he could wait, the little fat man from Lu Fu's Shield climbed up from below. He also walked over, stretched out his hand and wiped the nameplates on the chests of the tall constructs, and his eyes couldn't help but
To emit light:
"Get rich, get rich. These are all flexible structures, and the level should be quite high. How much is this worth?"
Parker and others climbed up from below. When he heard this sentence, his eyes couldn't help but shine: "Wait a minute, you said these things are valuable?"
He subconsciously looked at Fang Plover. Of course, Parker understood that among all the people, he was the most likely to know the prices of these things.
But Fang Yu really doesn’t understand it yet.
Military-standard structures are different from other structures in that they are rarely circulated on the market because the circulation also flows into the smuggling market under the cover of the public.
And military-standard structures do not necessarily mean they are popular. After all, the needs of the army are very different from the needs of adventurers. For example, this Knight of Mares, as a hand-held large shield, carries a 40mm gun.
Is the cannon structure powerful? Of course it is.
But apart from being used by large guilds in guild battles, where would adventurers use this? Magical artillery is very powerful, but it is also troublesome to operate. It is far inferior to a magician construct that can throw fireballs. After all, guilds
The cost of a round of volleys must be considered, and ordinary adventurers cannot afford the maintenance cost of a magic structure.
The sweeper is quite suitable for the needs of adventurers, but among similar structures, there are also shield defenders and fearless ones. Unless you have a need to show off, you can't afford to buy more expensive military structures. This is similar to the military magic furnace.
To defeat ordinary magic furnaces in all directions is completely two concepts.
However, as a flexible structure, especially a large-scale flexible structure, it is definitely not cheap. This is true.
Only then did Wu Xiaopang rush back excitedly, with an excited look on his face. He seemed to have forgotten his mission in Java. He said to him, Parker and Box: "Boss, we have made a fortune. We can find a way to make these things happen."
If the things are shipped out and sold, how about the proceeds are treated according to the spoils of war agreement?"
Fang Yu stared at this guy, a little speechless for a moment. Not to mention that they were still on a mission, and secondly, how did this guy plan to transport these things out?
There is a weight limit for fixed-point teleportation scrolls. It is not a big problem to teleport a person and his whole body equipment, but if you want to add a construct weighing several hundred kilograms, you can't even think about it. He does have information crystals.
But since the birth of the Orphen Twins, his information crystal has been filled to the brim. How can it still accommodate a large construct?
In fact, he even thought of countless ways to fit in the structure of the Kraken. In the end, he only managed to fit in his other structures by reducing the number of capable angels.
As for receiving these ‘trophies’ after completing the mission, it is also impossible.
Because these things are the property of smugglers, these things will eventually be confiscated by Tansniel Port - of course, as adventurers who complete the mission, they can take a small part of them as reward.
However, Parker always had some crooked ideas about how to make money, so he immediately suggested: "Maybe we can hide them first."
But let alone Fang Plover, Wu Xiaopang also disagrees with this proposal. Let alone where to hide, they don't have the opportunity or time at the moment.
However, Wu Xiaopang looked at the two of them strangely: "We don't have to take away all of them, we just need to take away some of them."
"How to bring it?"
Fang Yu asked a little absentmindedly.
To be honest, his mind was not on this at all, because even if they managed to bring out one or two constructs, they would only be able to sell them for tens of thousands of lisels at most - this thing may not be sold to adventurers and other selectors.
Go out and sell it to the guild, and the guild will probably lower the price.
And for the sake of one or two constructs, delaying their time to complete the task is not worth the loss. Not to mention the importance of the task at hand, it is related to the construction progress of the Seven Seas Traveler, and more importantly, they are currently in the middle of the task.
, itself also carries certain risks.
For some natural reasons, Fang Plover did not want to cause trouble.
But Wu Xiaopang was a little surprised when he heard his idea. He took out a dusty crystal from his backpack and said, "Of course it's an information crystal, otherwise how could I bring it with me?"
Fang Yu looked at the crystal in the opponent's hand and couldn't help being surprised. If he remembered correctly, Lu Fu's Shield obviously did not have a combat craftsman: "Wait a minute, why are you carrying this?"
"Do you bring them all?" Wu Xiaopang asked with a question mark on his face: "Is there anyone who doesn't bring this?"
"But you obviously don't have combat craftsmen, right?"
The little fat man of Rufu's Shield looked at him in great surprise: "What does this have to do with the battle craftsmen? Boss, haven't you ever fought with the battle craftsmen? If their flexible structures are left on the battlefield, we have to take these trophies with us."
Let's go back?"
"And we can't carry it back with our shoulders and backs. Of course we have to prepare the information crystal. Is there any adventurer who doesn't prepare this thing? Flexible construction is very valuable, and it can also be used
Other constructs of information technology.”
"Although high-end information crystals are very expensive, even the most rubbish ordinary teams can still afford them. We don't pursue efficiency. We don't need to fit many flexible structures into one crystal. As long as each crystal is information-based,
One is enough.”
Wu Xiaopang paused: "If our team raises some funds, we can still come up with a dozen information crystals. Wait, boss, don't you have any?"
Fang Yu looked at the other party and couldn't help but be speechless.
He suddenly felt that he was really a retard. Ever since he got the Orphan Twins, he had been very troubled by the problem of not having enough information crystals. But the information crystal he had was obtained from the Battle of Fenris.
Yes, it is considered a very high-end information crystal, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the flexible structure of the Gemini level.
If you want to get more high-end crystals, let alone him, even if you package and sell the Seven Seas Troupe, it may not be enough.
But he suddenly realized that he had overlooked a problem. In fact, except for a small number of flexible structures that he had to use in battle, which had requirements for the efficiency and anti-interference of information crystals, other flexible structures were completely fine.
Put it in some junk information crystals.
As for the interference problem caused by multiple crystals, that is not a problem at all. It is not used in battle anyway, so just interfere. If it fails, re-summon it once and it will be over.
Fang Yu slapped his forehead after hearing this. What surprised him was not that he could produce more than ten military structures. Although it was divided into 80 and 20, the Seven Seas Brigade could make at least 20 or 30 yuan from this deal.
Wan Lisel is not a small sum of money.
But in comparison, the reminder given to him by the other party made him gain more.
As a result, he also took this matter seriously.
After looking at these military constructs, although I don’t know their origins and uses, it is better to keep them in their hands than in the hands of blind followers. Even after completing this task, these things may all fall into the tank.
The port of Sniel, even in the hands of the royal family, will no longer be in the hands of blind followers.
But the people who took the mission were the people from Rufu's Shield, not them. They were just trying to find the true identities of these slave traders for Her Royal Highness. They were making extra money with their skills, so why not?
After all, Nanami Troupe is not rich either.
So Fang Yu immediately made the decision: "But hurry up. It's best to get things done here before Alisa and the others come back."
Seeing that he agreed, Wu Xiaopang patted his chest and promised, "Leave it to us."
After Fang Yuan's thoughts came back, he looked at the rows of military-standard constructs in the hall, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind: "If we can take all these constructs out, even if we don't sell them,
It’s also a good choice for your own use.”
An artillery-type structure like the Mares Knight may not be of much use to ordinary adventurers.
But for him, and for the Seven Seas Traveler, it can come in handy.
Think about it, lined up on the deck, with his multi-control ability, although the accuracy may be poor and the range may be closer, it is at least very spectacular. Moreover, the Mares Knight uses physical cannonballs to attack, and the magic power consumption is also
Less, economical and cost-effective.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited as he thought about it.
