Hearing the tone of Lord Luolan XV saying that everything was under control, the girl, who was the leader of the royal family's secret agency, lowered her head again to show her respect.
"Let us continue to watch. This rare event in a thousand years, this federation, is our stage."
Taking out a bottle of aged wine and a clear goblet that exuded a faint magical aura from nothingness, Loren XV poured himself a glass in a very good mood. Then under Shia's flattered eyes, Loren
The fifteenth generation also poured a glass for her.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!"
"Go ahead and continue to collect the situation of the gray fog. In addition, focus on supervising the production and installation progress of the constructed prosthetics. Try to complete the deployment of a prosthetic body reserve covering the entire federation before the gray fog breaks through.
After this matter is over, I will approve your withdrawal of the [Blood of Ability God] and [Black Dragon Melting Thunder Essence] that you applied for previously."
After Shia finished drinking, Loren XV once again promised precious resources to help her break through the ninth level as a reward, and then waved her hand to signal her to leave on her own.

"Found it, the target location is the warehouse over there. According to the intelligence, all the raw ore the other party purchased from us seems to have ended up here."
In the western part of the Loland Kingdom, in Dragon Claw City, a team of players whose movements seemed a bit sneaky came near a warehouse area on the outskirts of the city.
The task they received from the task publisher was to pretend to be small mine owners to sell a batch of low- to medium-level magic metal ores. Then they would track the buyers, find the warehouse where they stored the raw materials, and investigate how much they wanted.
What do ores do.
Anvis is not the only one who is interested in this incident.
After magic construction became popular, the construction factory occupied an excessively large area, so the factory site and supporting warehouses were usually located in the suburbs of the city, and the required materials were transported by pack animals.
"Yuck! The smell of this shitty place is really disgusting, and it's not all good if it's too real."
However, as they moved forward, many players couldn't bear to cover their mouths and noses.
The two caster players did not hesitate to spend mana to maintain a first-level protection spell [Purifying Air] at all times.
There are not only factories in the suburbs of the city, but also more self-built residences for the refugees.
Outsiders who cannot afford houses in the city usually gather on the outskirts of the city and build their own houses around the city walls, forming slum areas.
If Dragon Claw City prepares to expand one day in the future, these areas will often be surrounded by the city and become new downtown slums.
Obviously, the sanitary conditions in this kind of place cannot be good.
The excrement and vomit of all kinds of beasts of burden and humans, as well as the odor emitted by fresh and rotten household garbage, can be seen everywhere on the street corners. All kinds of unpleasant smells are mixed together and emitted in the air.
"Just be patient, we're almost there."
The captain glanced at the coordinates marked on the mission panel, compared them with the map, and determined that the target was the ordinary-looking low warehouse in front of him.
When it comes to low- and mid-level magical construction materials in the entire federation, it is impossible to complete the transfer of materials of this scale without anyone noticing.
Therefore, the forces that purchase materials did not hide it, but generously pulled carts of ore into this warehouse.
However, when spies from many forces try to sneak in and steal information, they often never return.
"According to the data, this is a warehouse rented by the 'Gilded Vine' Chamber of Commerce. Its main business is mid- to low-level magical structures, alchemy potions, etc. However, it is currently being robbed of a lot of market share by the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
The Gilded Vine Chamber of Commerce is a medium-sized chamber of commerce with a seventh-level president and two sixth-level spellcasters. The average level of its chamber of commerce guards is third level, with multiple fourth-level squad captains and fifth-level guard commanders.
There are rumors that the Gilded Vine is a secret chamber of commerce controlled by the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorraine, but there is no conclusive evidence."
A player in the team opened the panel, searched for the information he had recorded, and then gave an introduction.
He has a special life profession 'scholar', which allows him to store some knowledge he has read in the panel, and when it is needed, he can search for related records through a similar keyword search method.
"Not bad, Taozi, the information this time is quite detailed."
The captain nodded.
"The challenge level of this mission is 40+, and there are probably fourth-level guards inside. Please brace yourself and be careful not to be exposed, otherwise we will most likely suffer attrition."
After a simple arrangement, a group of players skillfully put on the invisibility veil, avoided the guards in front of the warehouse door, and sneaked into the target warehouse.
The things in the warehouse didn't seem to have any problems at first glance. A large number of low-grade metal ores of various types were piled up, as well as some metal ingots that had been initially refined. It seemed to be an ordinary construction factory resource warehouse.
However, a group of players who were very skilled at searching houses and finding hidden treasure chests soon discovered something was wrong.
The amount of ore they sold before did not match the amount of ore in this warehouse.
At the same time, there was something wrong with the area where the metal ingot boxes were placed. There were two light scratches on the floor, which seemed to be the marks left by something that often slid here.
After a lot of knocking, a secret passage finally appeared in front of the players.
A secret passage with a purely mechanical structure and a simple concealment technique can prevent the entrance of the secret passage from being searched by the low-level prophecy spell [Search for Secret passages], but this purely physical method of finding it cannot be avoided.
So, the curious players left two people outside to watch, while the others filed in.
After arriving at the other end of the secret passage, what appears in front of the players is an unexpected scene.
In the huge dark space, a large number of assembly lines are operating on their own. Countless ores fall into the crusher and are crushed, and then fed into the huge furnace to extract pure metal.
On the other side, various metal ingots are input along the feeding port and turned into standard parts. Then, after being assembled by the robotic arm, they gradually turn into racks of strange human-shaped structures.
Finally, the assembled structure flowed along the assembly line into a hole in the dark wall in the distance and disappeared.
"What is this? Some kind of secret factory?"
Looking at this scene in a daze, one player spoke in a low voice.
"It seems that our ore should be produced into this structure here."
"Then if we take one sample back, it should be enough to complete this mission."
"Aren't you curious where those constructs were transported? What's across from that hole in the wall?"
After the initial surprise, the team members immediately started discussing.
"Something's wrong."
However, the captain's brows gradually wrinkled.
"It went so smoothly. We sneaked in here without any obstacles at all. Where are the guards here?"
Before the captain finished speaking, two messages suddenly appeared on the panels of many players.
['Niu Liluo' is dead] ['Taotaojiang' is dead]
These two names were the players who had been watching the wind before. At the same time, sharp sirens sounded all around, and a large number of pitch-black construct knights emerged from the darkness, with scarlet rays of light on their faces shooting everywhere, as terrifying as messengers from hell.
"Enemy attack! Everyone, bring samples as soon as possible and prepare to break out!"
Although his heart felt a little heavy, the captain still issued the order without hesitation.
Only by successfully completing the mission can we live up to the sacrifices of our team members.
In the end, under the cover of almost the entire team, the captain escaped from the secret passage with a space bracelet containing a body, and used various means to hide for thirty minutes, and finally successfully escaped from the battle and went offline.
