Chapter 109



109 The bracelet of time

the sky was dark and gloomy as usual.

snowflakes were falling continuously. this was a light snow that would continue every day.

When the next wave of cold air from the North came to the South, it would be Blizzard.

In a dark alley opposite shenjue Castle.

Wearing a thick top hat and a collar that covered his face, gune was stepping on the soft snow that was more than a meter thick.

In the past, he would Leave No Trace in the snow.

but today, gu nie left a clear footprint with every step he took.

And the reason was because Gu nie was wearing the 150-pound purple scale chainmail.

gu nie’s body, which had reached rank 2, was also strengthened.

It was naturally able to withstand the 150-pound purple chainmail. It did affect Gu NIE’s agility, but it was nothing compared to his powerful defense and buffer.

After passing through the alley, gugne saw George waiting at the exit of the other end.

george’s face was very calm.

“Follow me.”

George’s voice was very low, and gune could hear him.

he stopped a carriage and the two of them climbed up.

“to the steel factory.” George said to the coachman.

Dada Dada Dada

The carriage quickly moved along with the sound of the horse’s hooves.

George immediately activated his nullifying interference barrier.

“this is the bracelet of time.”

George flipped his hand and handed over a bracelet with five glass orbs on it.

Gu nie took the bracelet and carefully examined it.

these five glass orbs were the same as the one george had given him. each of them had a hourglass inside, and the black bracelet was divided into two parts and wound around the hourglass from both sides.

there was nothing in the hourglass. Perhaps the flow of time was something he had never seen before.

“it’s quite exquisitely made.” Gu nie secretly commented.

” the bracelet of time is filled with the power of time. it can allow you to come out of the hunting level, but it can not allow you to enter. ”

“It’s enough that you can come out.” Gu nie nodded.

“Five hourglass of time. You can leave from it five times.”

at the same time, the hourglass of time will not only allow you to leave the hunting layer, but it will also allow you to break free from other layers and come to reality.

“Even the shadow world works?” Gu nie asked.

“that’s the simplest level.” George gave an affirmative answer.

“in that case, it’s a pretty good treasure.” Gu nie laughed.

” for an extraordinary who can travel through the deep world, this might not be a big deal. ”

” of course, the most important thing is the hourglass of time. it can collect the time that has passed in your body and slowly replenish it. ”

“Oh?” This time, Gu NIE’s expression changed.

“can be recycled?”

“Yes, I am.”

“It’s a pretty good item, thank you.” Gu nie said.

this bracelet of time, which could be collected and used repeatedly, was indeed a good treasure.

George asked softly.

“In addition, Yingluo, how’s your source energy breathing?”

you have to know that in the shadow layer, even in the hunting layer, you can’t breathe in the air normally.

” even if there’s only a thin amount of source power there, you’ll need to master the ability to breathe source power at a deep enough level to be able to walk freely and even fight. ”

gugne laughed at george’s words.

when I wasn’t an extraordinary, I had already started training myself to use my cells to breathe with source energy.

” as for the physical form that i’m currently using to breathe, you can just treat it as a decoration. ”

“he’s completely free from the breathing of his physical body?” George, on the other hand, was stunned.

“yes, i am.” gu nie didn’t try to hide anything.

During the concoction process, the breathing in the lungs would cause the muscles in the body to expand and fluctuate, thus affecting the fine proportion of the concoction.

Therefore, when Gu nie was refining potions, he would completely give up on breathing in his lungs and use source power to breathe. This way, he could control the proportions of the potion to the extreme.

the ability to breathe in the lungs was useless to gu nie.

“That’s good enough.” george squinted his eyes and nodded.

George continued to speak in a low voice.

“I’ve already investigated, that 2nd rank thanator will undergo a transformation tonight.”

we’ll have to enter the hunting level in advance after lunch.

“you haven’t entered the deep world.”

” that’s why i need to bring you there in advance to get used to it. that way, when you fight, you’ll be able to display 100% of your strength. ”

otherwise, if you go in and fight rashly, you might not even be able to use ten percent of your strength.

the world’s framework was different from the real world, and gu nie knew that.

” we do need to enter in advance to adapt to it. ” Gu nie nodded.

” the black iron smeltery has a strong beyonder characteristic. it’s easy to conceal abnormal fluctuations. you won’t be discovered if you enter from there. ”

“Yes.” Gu nie nodded in response.

……

At noon, in a small restaurant near the steel factory.

Gugne and George had just finished their simple lunch.

A large number of steel factory workers had already gotten off work, and a few factory workers had poured into the block.

Although these workers in old work clothes looked a little dirty and messy, their mental state was not as numb and stiff as the starving homeless.

George said in a low voice as the two of them walked along the snow.

” after the labor protection act was enacted, the working environment and income of the workers have improved. ”

“although there are still many problems, it’s much better than ten years ago.”

Gu nie nodded.

gune, who had been reading almost every page of the supernatural daily, knew that the empire had put in a lot of effort to protect the interests of the workers after the steam-powered machinery factories were built in every corner of the empire.

gune had even heard that some nobles who didn’t abide by the labor laws were being attacked.

the effect was obvious.

at least, when the snow sealed the mountains, the workers in the sug ruins at the border of the empire could have a place to rest and eat.

Even in The Black Map District where the good and the bad were mixed, there were not many homeless people.

compared to the inland areas, the empire had enacted the ” navigation act ” in the coastal areas. as long as a ship paid a small amount of customs duties, it would be protected by the navy’s steel ships.

they were all qualified to enter the great voyage and follow the sea routes opened by the empire to go deep into the deep sea for long-distance exploration. All the gains from the exploration would belong to the exploration ship.

this led to the extreme enthusiasm of the great voyage era.

“wuwuwuwu!”

At this time, the exhaust sound of the steel-smelting steam engine furnace was heard not far away.

the roar of the steam-powered boiler the size of a house could be clearly heard from several kilometers away, and a large amount of mist rose.

gu nie slightly rubbed his fingers as he thought.

The Yulan Empire operated steam-powered steel machinery and was at a time when it was on the rise.

the infidels wanted to destroy all of this and restore the church’s rule of the foolish people and the sacred rule of the church’s imperial power.

Gu nie could even clearly see the true face of those strange and mysterious existences from the thanator.

they simply treated life coldly. if such people were allowed to rule the world, it would be even more bloody and merciless than the rule of a theocracy. when that happened, the entire world would become a ” flesh farm ” for them to harvest as they pleased.

” barbarian saint, the alien races in the north, and the evil spirit sect that has already set off waves in the depths of the sea, can you stop this giant steel machine that has brought about a new wave of the era and made a huge roar? ” gu nie murmured.
