Tread~
Tread~
The horse's hoof stepped on the floor, making a particularly clear sound.
Richard, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out from the glass window.
Prosperous, spectacular, fantastic.
This is his most intuitive impression of the Cathedral City.
After collecting all the troops into the Tibetan soldiers, he quietly left the stronghold, hired a carriage on the street, and headed to the 17th block.
Although I don't know who Knowles lives in the Black Oak Manor, Ferguson must be someone he absolutely trusts when he says his name at the last minute.
Sanctuary City is worthy of its status as a royal capital.
The main street is 100 meters wide, with domed buildings ranging from three to five stories and more than 10 to 20 meters high on both sides.
The style is simple and atmospheric, full of dignity and elegance.
Most of the blank spaces on the walls are embossed with images of angels and dragons, and each wall is like the most precious artwork.
The stained glass bay windows of the houses scatter colorful colors under the sunlight in the morning, adding a bit of atmosphere to the street.
There is an astonishing prosperity here.
On both sides of the street, there are shops of all kinds of goods, the crowd is surging, and the various items are dazzling, making it dizzying.
Pedestrians are bustling, not only human race, elegant and arrogant elves, low and strong dwarves, orcs with beast heads... and other strange races come into view from time to time.
And what attracted Li Cha's attention the most was definitely the players with the most obvious temperament.
From time to time, these guys ask some high-level NPCs nearby if they need help.
Especially high-value elves are the most popular.
It was also the first time that Richard experienced the feeling of so many players walking around, which was quite novel.
But he has no idea of what he wants to experience in this way. The high-end segment naturally has high-end gameplay.
After observing for a long time, he came back to his senses, seemed to have thought of something, and asked the coachman in front of him.
"Your Excellency, do you know the situation at Black Oak Manor?"
The young coachman seemed to be holding back for a long time when he heard this, and muttered.
"Sir, why are you going to that manor? There lives an old man who likes alchemy and machinery... The last time I helped him pull a batch of goods in, he was blasted out without even drinking saliva, and I haven't settled the bill yet, I only paid my last salary when I went there for the second time!
"God of justice is above, even if you are his friend, I have to say, that guy is the most stingy guy in the world!!"
Li Cha was taken aback, this was a little different from what he thought.
"Alchemy and machinery... What kind of alchemy machinery?"
"Who knows, no one can walk into his estate...
The driver seems to always help the other party to pull the goods, and his mouth does not hold the door.
"The goods he needs are obviously similar to the materials I sent to other Master Masters, the only difference is that there are many more machines..."
Li Chayou pressed on for many details, and finally got only some vague information from the driver's mouth.
What the other party mentioned the most was not to pay him the wages, which made him a little dumbfounded.
"My lord... the Black Oak Manor has arrived."
The young coachman woke up Richard with a call.
After paying the fare with gold coins, the other party specially reminded him.
"If you are here to complete his bounty tasks, you must pay for the money and deliver the goods with one hand, or the old miser will hack your items!"
Li Cha laughed dumbly and got off the carriage after thanking him.
Black Oak Manor comes into view.
This is a medium-sized manor, and the courtyard wall is seven or eight meters high, almost like a city wall.
Looking over the wall, you can see the towering oak trees inside.
But unlike ordinary oaks, the trunks of these oaks are all pitch black.
It seems that this is the origin of the manor's name.
Stepping forward, he rang the conspicuous magic doorbell in front of the giant gate that seemed to be built for giants.
Richard waited for a long time, when he thought whether the doorbell was broken.
Yea~ The gate of the manor only moved.
But before the door was opened, an angry voice came out first.
"Damn bastard!! Who is bothering me while I'm doing an experiment...if there's no valid reason, trust me, I'll put your head in your ass!!"
The door made of black oak opened a gap.
A dwarf with a height of about 1.4 meters, with a messy chicken coop head, and an extremely unbalanced body proportion appeared in Richard's sight.
The red nose of the other party looked like a clown, and his appearance was extraordinarily comical.
This is a dwarf-like race, but they do not have the strong muscles of dwarves, and are more known for their smart heads.
Is a member of the fortress camp.
"You're the one who rang the **** doorbell? Human, say what you're here for!! Or I'll let you know, the fist of Master Knowles!!"
Richard looked down at the angry dwarf who was waving his fists, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Why does this guy look unreliable?
Are you sure Ferguson didn't let him find the wrong person?
Open the properties panel.
Knowles
hero unit
Level: 19
? ? ?
? ? ?
? ? ?
His pupils shrank suddenly, another level 19 hero? ?
And this guy is not seriously injured like Ferguson.
Strength is at its peak.
Even if the opponent is a dwarf, the strength of level 19 is enough to blast a boulder with one punch.
As his mind turned, his tone was solemn.
"Is Your Excellency Knowles?"
"I have come to look for you on the request of Lord Ferguson."
The dwarf frowned.
"That **** Ferguson asked you to come to me? Impossible, how could he let outsiders come to recruit... Could it be that something happened to him?"
Saying that, his eyes were fixed on him, and at this moment, his eyes became extremely sharp.
The unintentional breath made Li Cha instantly feel as if he was being watched by a giant dragon.
His tone was a little lower.
"Lord Ferguson was seriously injured on the way, and when I escorted him from the outer city to the inner city, he encountered a traitor.
"The devil lured by the betrayer brought Lord Ferguson into the teleportation array...disappeared without a trace."
As he said these words, Knowles' face froze sharply, and an extremely terrifying coercion seemed to collapse on his body.
It was firmly pressed against Li Cha's chest.
The dwarf's body gave birth to an abyss beast in a trance at this moment!
"What did you say?!!"
Li Cha took a deep breath and said word by word.
"Ferguson, who was seriously injured, was taken away by the devil, and his life and death are unknown!"
As he spoke, a special energy emerged from his body, covering his entire body.
Li Cha lost his trace in the eyes of the other party.
"Hidden power??!!"
Knowles sensed this scene and quickly withdrew the coercion that escaped.
His eyes were fixed on Li Cha, who had lost his traces.
"This is that bastard's skill! Unless he is willing to teach it himself, there can be no third person!"
"I made an agreement with Ferguson that there are two versions of the hidden power, the first one can be taught if forced, but there is an obvious flaw in that skill.
"But you are using the full version. I also gave him a lot of advice on this skill. Otherwise, how could that guy study it?!"
After sensing it for a while, the hostility on the dwarf's face disappeared.
With a wave of his hand, Li Cha's hidden power was erased by him.
His gaze softened a bit.
"Human, who are you? How can you gain the trust of Ferguson?"
Li Cha's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Lord of Dusk City, Richard, Your Excellency, are we talking at the door?"
Knowles turned his head and glanced behind him, and after confirming that no one was there, he nodded and motioned for him to come with him.
Enter the gate.
yah~
The two behind the gate were extremely rough in workmanship, like giant puppets randomly piled up with garbage, slowly pushing the gate and closing it.
Li Cha didn't care at first, but out of curiosity, he opened the property panel and took a look.
In the next second, his eyes narrowed.
Brilliant 2 stars, level 11...
After seeing these two attributes, I immediately felt the difficulty of this dwarf.
At first glance, this thing is made by hand, but it has reached a brilliant level.
Combined with the driver's information, I instantly had a general judgment on Knowles in my heart.
This dwarf is extraordinary.
Entering an open green meadow in front of the manor, a huge black-trunked oak tree in the center area is particularly conspicuous.
Knowles did not take Richard into the main building in front, but went around to the backyard and entered an inconspicuous house.
The moment the other party opened the door, Li Cha took a breath.
There are dozens of three-meter-high mechanical puppets, and each of them is a brilliant 3-star level, and the level is as high as level 14.
This dwarf has something...
With a sigh of relief, Ferguson finally did not pit him.
Passing through these cold and ferocious puppets, in the central area, I saw a basement entrance.
"Boy, don't touch the stuff inside..."
Knowles turned his head and gave a warning, then motioned for him to follow.
Following the wide staircase made of metal, Richard followed the dwarf in front of him and walked down slowly.
After hundreds of steps, we arrived at this mysterious area.
Li Cha turned his head and looked around, and a scene that shocked him appeared in front of him.
This is a huge underground space with a diameter of more than 500 meters.
A large number of mechanical puppets are placed around, almost filling the space.
It is no worse than the arcane halls used to produce magic puppets in the ancient ruins of the Obsidian Mage Tower.
And in the most central area.
A giant mechanical puppet that is 15 meters high and looks like a prehistoric beast is standing in the center.
To his surprise, the chest of the mechanical puppet opened, revealing a space that could accommodate adults.
Is that... a cab? !
This mechanical puppet can be driven by humans? !
After Li Cha regained his senses, he immediately opened the attribute panel.
In the next second, his heart suddenly beat faster.
This dwarf is a jerk.
Extraordinary Hunter-Mechanical Golem
Level: 20
Features: Can drive combat
? ? ?
? ? ?
? ? ?
Level 20... The Extraordinary Hunter.
Although I can't see the specific attributes, just relying on the level of 20 can already explain everything.
Damn, if you move this big guy back from the dungeon... Wouldn't it be possible to go to heaven? ?
