Chapter 35, Sustainable Exploitation of Resources
The Earldom of Laney.
The headquarters of the Gondor branch of the Artisans Union.
Only a loud "bang" was heard.
The blast furnace being forged exploded again.
Starting yesterday, there were only forging furnaces in the entire branch.
Will explode uncontrollably.
This situation is going to make the branch leader of the Craftsman Alliance so angry that he will explode.
"Impossible!"
"The blast furnace has been running for so many years, how could it explode casually?"
"Check it for me, and you must find out the result."
The furious leader of the branch, Zhao Yu, roared angrily.
Because just now.
The bones of the Shadow Wolf that were finally obtained were also destroyed in the blast furnace explosion.
This is an orange level material.
Furthermore, the explosion also injured the high-level hero he recruited.
This was intolerable to Zhao Yu.
It didn't take long after he issued the order for a thorough investigation.
Wei Xu, the deputy leader, walked in.
"Leader."
"I just went to an astrologer for a divination."
"According to the results of divination, you have been cursed."
"And it's an extremely powerful curse. The blast furnaces in our alliance have exploded one after another, all related to this."
Hear this.
Zhao Yu felt an unknown fire surge up.
"Curse!"
"Who, that vicious beast cursed me."
You must know that what these forging lords fear most is the curse.
Once hit, even a tiny mistake during forging will turn the materials they worked so hard to collect into a pile of ashes.
Therefore, many Lords of the Craftsmen Alliance carry amulets with them.
Specifically used to protect against curses.
But Zhao Yu was cursed this time but the amulet was not triggered.
This frightened and angered him.
The fear is that his amulet cannot stop the curse.
What makes him angry is that the other party actually placed such a curse on himself.
For the next time, the curse will not be dispelled.
Then it would be impossible to forge by yourself.
The leader of the Artisan Alliance cannot forge equipment.
It's no different than waste.
At that time, the position of the leader of the branch alliance will not be stable.
Wei Xu on the side heard Zhao Yu's angry voice with a hint of fear.
As someone who has coveted the position of alliance leader for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy at this moment.
At the same time, I was secretly happy.
Fortunately, he was not the one who got hit.
The person who cast the curse this time was very powerful.
None of his astrologers could find a trace of the other party.
Therefore, when asked by Zhao Yu, he could only hand over his hand and say: "Leader, I can't find it, and I can't tell the type of this curse."
"My astrologer told me that my opponent is far stronger than him."
"He can't dispel this curse."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a chill in his heart.
He knew Wei Xu's astrologer.
This is a rare purple unit, and ordinary curses can be discovered and dispelled.
In addition, he also has a rare orange weapon.
Even orange level curses can be dispelled.
But now there is no way to dispel the curse in me.
What does this mean!
It means that the person who cursed himself is probably an orange rare unit.
Or a higher gold color!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu trembled.
"What high-ranking lord have we offended recently?"
Zhao Yu asked tremblingly.
Wei Xu on the side pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"Although we will sell some low-level equipment, they are all good, but at most they are a bit expensive."
"If a customer comes to us, and the customer has a background, we will make up some of the price difference. Basically, we have not offended any high-ranking lord."
"Furthermore, we sell things through the lords below who specialize in distribution."
"If our Craftsmen Union doesn't participate, even if they seek trouble, they won't find us."
"As for customized equipment, we have never cut corners, and we will not and dare not offend those high-ranking lords."
After finishing speaking, he paused and said.
"If I say I offended someone, I offended a low-level lord yesterday."
"There is a reward for the man named Fang Yuan."
"But the other party is at best a second-level lord."
"How could such a powerful curse be used?"
"Not even my astrologer can expel him."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu on the side also nodded silently.
He also didn't believe that the low-level lord named Fang Yuan could cast a curse on him.
Not him!
Then who is it?
No matter how much he thought about it, Zhao Yu couldn't imagine who he had offended.
Just when he felt desperate.
Wei Xu said from the side.
"Leader, it's better to use the astrological stone."
"Try it, see if you can find the other party, and ask why!"
"If we do something wrong, we will compensate him."
When Zhao Yu heard about the astrological stone, his heart trembled.
The main function of this thing is to predict the future.
One is worth tens of millions of gold coins.
Even if you are as rich as him, you will bleed after taking one pill at a time.
From now on, we have to grit our teeth and live our lives.
"Is there really no other way?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
"Leader, ten million gold coins is a lot, but if you can't continue forging, you will lose a lot~"
After hearing these unfinished words, Zhao Yu finally gritted his teeth.
"You're right!"
"Thousands of gold coins hurt my body."
"But this curse cannot be dispelled, so the loss is not money."
"If the gold coins are gone, you can earn them again, but if you can't forge them."
"I am no different from a dead person on the battlefield of all realms."
He took a deep breath and opened the Artisan Alliance's internal alliance channel.
I bought an astrological stone with the authority of the branch leader.
The purchase by the alliance will be known to other branch leaders.
Immediately, someone started shouting in surprise on the main channel of the Artisan Alliance's sub-league.
"Damn it, Zhao Yu, you are so rich, you actually bought an astrological stone. Are you preparing to start a famine war?"
"6666, how long after Zhao Yu became the leader of the branch, he started to start the wilderness war."
"Ten million gold coins, Brother Yu, you are so rich."
"That's not right. There is a disaster of undead happening in the Kingdom of Gondor. Are you starting the wilderness war at this time because you don't want to die fast enough?"
"Hehe, top secret news. Several blast furnaces of the Gondor Alliance exploded. They must have offended the boss."
"Wow, that makes sense."
"I just said that Zhao Yu, an iron rooster, why is he willing to spend money to buy astrological stones? It turns out that he offended someone who shouldn't be offended."
"That's right!"
Zhao Yu took a deep breath when he saw the message mocking him.
He gritted his teeth.
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, wait for me~"
The chat channel was immediately closed.
Take out the astrological stone and give it to Wei Xu.
"The future of our Gondor Alliance depends entirely on you."
Wei Xu took the stone and nodded, now unanimously speaking to the outside world.
He didn't dare to make any small moves, just in case the other party wasn't just targeting Zhao Yu.
If you kill him, you will definitely be the next one.
Wei Xu is not a fool. He knows when to fight and when to unite with the outside world.
Soon, Wei Xu handed over the astrological stone to his astrologer hero.
With an infusion of astrological magic energy.
soon!
The curse on Zhao Yu began to appear.
After a moment, the astrologer opened his eyes suddenly.
"Found it!"
"Lord, please use the power of the curse to talk to him now."
Zhao Yu's expression was complicated when he heard the sound. He wanted to strangle the other person to death.
But thinking about my future.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath.
Then he said to the air.
"Boss, I am Zhao Yu from the Gondor branch of the Craftsmen Alliance."
"I don't know where I offended you, and I asked you to cast a curse spell on me with your own hands."
"Can you please give the boss a chance and let me go?"
"If you have any needs, boss, just ask."
"I, Zhao Yu, will do it for you even if I lose everything."
"I just want the boss to lift the curse!"
After saying that, Zhao Yu began to wait quietly.
Wait for the other party's reply.
And at the same time.
The Lord's Hall of the Wasteland Territory.
Fang Yuan listened to Zhao Yu's voice coming from the Earth-bound Spirit.
There was a hint of excitement on his face.
"There is such a good thing!"
"Isn't this just the big fat sheep coming to your door?"
"The initiative is completely in your own hands."
"You can do whatever you want with it."
But soon Fang Yuan calmed down again.
"No, if the request is too excessive, the other party might overturn the table."
"It's best to do it a few times a few times, crossing his bottom line step by step."
“In the end, as the sunk costs of investment increased, I was tightly controlled by myself.”
"The revenge of this kind of oppression is no better than killing the opponent with a knife, and the satisfaction of grudges can be settled!"
As for this kind of person, a word suddenly popped into Fang Yuan's mind. (End of chapter)
