Chapter 145 Extraordinary Hunter-Mechanical Puppet
Ta Ta~
Ta Ta~
The horse's hooves stepped on the floor, making a particularly clear sound.
Richard, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out of the glass window.
Prosperous, spectacular and fantastic.
This is his most intuitive impression of Temple City.
After collecting all the troops into the Tibetan Army Card, he quietly left the stronghold, hired a carriage on the street, and headed for the 17th Block.
Although he didn't know who Knowles was who lived in Black Oak Manor, the fact that Ferguson named him at the last minute must be someone he absolutely trusted.
The Holy City is worthy of its status as a royal capital.
The main street is a hundred meters wide, with dome buildings ranging from three to five stories and more than ten to twenty meters high lined on both sides.
The style is simple and elegant, full of nobility and elegance.
Most of the blank spaces on the walls are embossed with patterns of angels and dragons, and every wall is like the most precious work of art.
The stained glass bay windows of the houses scatter colorful colors under the early morning sunlight, adding to the atmosphere of the street.
There is an astonishing amount of prosperity here.
There are shops selling all kinds of goods on both sides of the street. The crowds are surging and the variety of items is dazzling.
Pedestrians coming and going are bustling, and there is not only one race of humans. Elegant and proud elves, short and strong dwarves, orcs with beast heads, and other strange races come into view from time to time.
What caught Richard's attention the most was definitely the players with particularly obvious temperament.
From time to time, these guys ask some high-level NPCs nearby if they need help.
Especially the good-looking elves are the most popular.
It was also the first time for Richard to experience the feeling of so many players shuttling around him, which was quite novel.
But he has no idea about trying this method. High-end ranks naturally have 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.
"Sir, do you know the situation at Black Oak Manor?"
The young coachman seemed to have been holding back these words for a long time and muttered.
"Sir, why do you want to go to that manor? There is an old man who likes alchemy and machinery living there. I helped him pull a batch of goods in last time, but he was kicked out without even drinking water, and he didn't pay me the bill. I was given the last salary only after I went there for the second time!
"God of justice, even if you are his friend, I have to say that that guy is simply the stingiest guy in the world!!"
Richard was stunned, this was a little different from what he thought.
"Alchemy and machinery. What kind of alchemy machinery?"
"Who knows, no one can enter his manor.
It seems that the coachman often helps each other pull goods, and he doesn't talk about it.
"The goods he needs are obviously similar to what I send to other mage masters. The only difference is that there are a lot more machines"
Richard asked for many details, but in the end he only got some vague information from the driver.
What the other party mentioned the most was not paying him for his work, which made him dumbfounded.
"My lord, Black Oak Manor has arrived."
A call from the young coachman woke up Richard.
After paying the fare with gold coins, the other party gave him a special reminder.
"If you are here to complete his bounty tasks, you must pay the money and deliver the goods in one hand, otherwise the old miser will hack your items!"
Richard laughed dumbly, said his thanks and got off the carriage.
Black Oak Manor comes into view.
This is a medium-sized manor with a courtyard wall seven or eight meters high, almost like a city wall.
Looking beyond the wall, you can see the towering oak trees inside.
But unlike ordinary oak trees, the trunks of these oak trees are all dark.
This seems to be the origin of the name of the estate.
He stepped forward and rang the conspicuous magic doorbell in front of the huge door that seemed to be built for giants.
Richard waited for a long time, when he thought the doorbell was broken.
Yi Ya~ Only then did the gate of the manor move.
But before the door opened, an angry voice came out first.
"Damn bastard!! Who bothered me when I was doing experiments? If there is no legitimate reason, believe me, I will definitely stuff your head into my butt!!"
The door made of black oak opened a gap.
A dwarf about 1.4 meters tall appeared in Richard's sight, with a messy chicken coop head and extremely uncoordinated body proportions.
The other party's red rosy nose looked like that of a clown, and his appearance was particularly comical.
This is a race similar to dwarves, but they do not have the strong muscles of dwarves and are more famous for their clever heads.
Is a member of the Bastion camp.
"You were the one who rang the damn doorbell? Human being, tell me why you came!! Otherwise I will let you know, Master Knowles' fist!!"
Richard looked down at the angry dwarf who was waving his fists and twitching the corners of his mouth.
Why does this guy look a little 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 sharply, another level 19 hero? ?
And this guy is not seriously injured like Ferguson.
His 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.
While his mind was spinning, he said in a solemn tone.
"You are Knowles?"
"I have been commissioned by Sir Alex Ferguson to find you."
The dwarf frowned.
"That bastard Ferguson asked you to come to me? Impossible, how could he let outsiders come to recruit? Did something happen to him?"
As he spoke, his eyes stared at him, and at this moment, his eyes became extremely sharp.
The aura emitted unintentionally made Richard instantly feel as if he was being targeted by a giant dragon.
The tone was a little lower.
"Your Excellency Ferguson was seriously injured on the way. When I escorted him from the stronghold outside the city to the inner city, I encountered a traitor.
"The devil seduced by the betrayer took Mr. Ferguson into the teleportation array and disappeared without a trace."
As soon as he said these words, Knowles' face suddenly froze, and there was an extremely terrifying pressure on his body, like a mountain collapsing.
Pressing hard on Richard's chest.
The body of the dwarf gave birth to an abyssal beast in a trance at this moment!
"What did you say?!"
Richard took a deep breath and spoke 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 whole body.
Richard immediately lost his trace in the other party's eyes.
"The power of concealment??!!"
Knowles sensed this scene and quickly withdrew the pressure that had escaped.
His eyes were fixed on Richard, who had lost all traces.
"This is that bastard's skill! Unless he himself is willing to teach it, there is no way that a third person can know it!"
"I made an agreement with Ferguson. There are two versions of the power of concealment. The first one can be taught if necessary, but that skill has an obvious flaw.
"But you are using the complete version. I also gave him a lot of advice on this skill, otherwise how could that guy possibly study it?!"
After a moment of careful sensing, the hostility on the dwarf's face disappeared.
With a wave of his hand, the hidden power on Richard was wiped away by him.
His eyes softened a bit.
"Human, who are you? Why do you gain Ferguson's trust?"
Richard's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Lord of Twilight City, Richard, Your Excellency, can we talk at the door?"
Knowles turned his head and glanced behind him, and after making sure there was no one there, he nodded and motioned for him to follow him.
Enter the gate.
Ea~
Behind the door, two giant puppets with extremely rough workmanship, like they were randomly piled up with garbage, slowly pushed the door and closed it.
Richard didn't pay attention at first, but out of curiosity, he opened the properties panel and took a look.
The next second, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Brilliant 2 stars, level 11.
After seeing these two attributes, I immediately felt that this dwarf was not simple.
This thing looks like it was made casually, but it reaches a level of brilliance.
Combining the information from the coachman, I instantly made a rough judgment on Knowles.
This dwarf is extremely extraordinary.
Entering the open green grassland in front of the manor, a huge oak tree with a black trunk in the center 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, Richard took a deep breath.
There are dozens of three-meter-tall mechanical puppets placed here, and each one is a brilliant 3-star level, with a level as high as 14.
There is something about this dwarf
He was relieved inside, Ferguson finally didn't trick him.
After passing through these cold and ferocious puppets, I saw a basement entrance in the central area.
"Boy, don't touch the things inside"
Knowles turned his head and told him, then motioned for him to follow.
Along the wide metal stairs, Richard followed the dwarf in front of him and walked slowly down.
After climbing hundreds of steps, we arrived at this mysterious area.
Richard 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.
There were a large number of mechanical puppets placed around, almost filling the space.
It is no worse than the arcane hall used to produce magic puppets in the Obsidian Mage Tower, an ancient ruin.
And in the most central area.
A giant mechanical puppet that is 15 meters high and looks like a prehistoric beast is erected in the center.
What surprised him was that the chest of the mechanical puppet opened up, revealing a space that could accommodate an adult.
Is that the cab? !
Can this mechanical puppet be driven by humans? !
After Richard came to his senses, he immediately opened the properties panel.
The next second, his heart suddenly beat faster.
This dwarf is awesome.
Extraordinary Hunter-Mechanical Puppet
Level: 20
Features: Drivable for combat
? ? ?
? ? ?
? ? ?
Level 20. Extraordinary hunter.
Although the specific attributes cannot be seen, the level of 20 alone can explain everything. Fuck, if this big guy is moved back from the dungeon, wouldn't it be possible for him to go to heaven? ?
