Volume 19 Chapter 189 Confusion
"What did you say?" I lifted the guy on the ground, and almost pressed his face to his face and asked again: "Where are the other bottle of liquefied magic crystal steam?"
"I'm coughing...I'm coughing...I'm coughing..."
"Speak quickly."
"Zi Ri, you're almost pinching him to death!" Hongyue said, pulling my arm.
After Hongyue reminded me, I realized that I was so excited. I quickly relaxed the strength of my hand. The guy immediately broke free from my control and knelt on the ground and coughed desperately. Seeing that he was almost coughing, I held back my temper and asked again: "Tell me quickly, where is the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam in the end?"
"I didn't lie. That can of liquefied magic crystal steam was really transported to the Himalayas."
"Do you know the specific location?" Hongyue asked in front of me.
The guy shook his head and said, "We are just delivering goods. They just need to deliver them to a city called Kura at the foot of the Himalayas, and then the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam will be handed over to their hands. Even the matter of transporting the liquefied magic crystal steam up the mountain was something I secretly followed them for a short distance before I knew about it."
"Why did you follow them at that time?"
"Don't I want to leave a way out for myself? I don't know where those guys come from. If there is any accident, it's not bad for me to know more things, right?"
Hongyue and I exchanged glances with each other, then looked at the guy again and said, "We will spare you this time, but after you leave here, it is best not to think about going to the Sancaihui to report to the people from the Sancaihui. From the moment you were exposed, you have no use value in their eyes, so don't expect to get any benefits from them at all. You will not be rewarded except offending our Frost Rose Alliance."
The guy nodded and said, "I'm not stupid. Why can't I do with this comparison of money? Then I'll make myself like a mouse crossing the street, and I won't be able to mess around in the game in the future. I'm not that stupid."
After seeing this guy understand what we mean, I let this guy go and said to the prince charming: "You can go back and report to Yanyu, tell him that we already know where the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam is going. You asked him to seize the time to check the traitors in the guild, and we will go find clues by ourselves."
The prince charming asked in confusion: "Can't I go with you?"
"Sorry, the other party may have been to visit a secret place in our guild, so it is not convenient to take out people."
After hearing what we said so directly, Prince Charming couldn't make any excuses. He nodded to us and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report now. But if you get the exact destination of the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam, please inform us as soon as possible. We can't feel at ease if we don't control such dangerous things!"
“This is certain.”
After being polite with Prince Charming, Hongyue and I returned to Aisinger directly from the teleportation array, and then transferred from Aisinger to the City of Decree. Unlike other cities, the City of Decree is equipped with special protection devices, and the general transmission method cannot cross the space barrier here, so most of the teleportation arrays and teleportation skills will be invalid here. Of course, the City of Decree also has a teleportation array, but this is not a general teleportation array, but a special teleportation array. This teleportation array has special protection. It can send connection requests to any teleportation array and transmit people. However, other teleportation arrays must have corresponding special equipment if they want to transmit people here. Without this equipment, they cannot connect. Currently, there are only two teleportation arrays equipped with this equipment and can directly transmit the city of Decree, one is in the sky city of Aisinger, and the other is in the underground part of the Steel City.
According to the information provided by the guy before, the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam was transported to the Himalayas. The first thing we thought of from this information was that the other party set the target on the City of Decree. Of course, this is just our guess and there is no real credible evidence. The Himalayas are not a small mountain range. In addition to having Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, it has a very large area. According to the information of our guild, there are thirty-three systems in the entire Himalayas area alone, and it is unknown how many cities the players have built. Although the Sancai will transport the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam to the Himalayas, it is likely that the other party will build a secret base here, but it is not ruled out that the other party will build a secret base here. However, even if it is only a little possibility, we must come and check it thoroughly to rest assured. After all, the significance of the City of Decree is extraordinary.
As a safe to preserve the ring of precepts that the gods longed to get, the City of Precepts itself is a huge powder keg, and anything related to it can eventually lead to large-scale disputes between the gods. For example, when I used the Gods who no longer preserve the ring of precepts to threaten it, I could see the weight of the ring of precepts. If the group of fools from Sancai really blow up the City of Precepts, then I don’t know what losses we will have. Anyway, their guild will be over. Of course, if I eliminate the Sancaihui at the cost of destroying the City of Precepts, I personally think there are still more losses, so we have to prevent this situation from happening.
Because of its special instinctive nature, the guards of any key part are in groups. It is not that there are so many guards here, but the gods feel that they cannot trust each other, so there will be several forces of the gods appearing at the same time on each post. Because there are too many forces in these gods, even if each tribe only sends one guard at each post, there is still a large group of guards on each post in the city. This is because I used the method of round-trip withdrawal to force the number of guards. Otherwise, it would be estimated that each post in the city would have to stand at least two or three hundred people.
As soon as the teleportation on Hongyue and I started, the teleportation array in the city of rules immediately lit up. Then, all the guards of the gods who were sitting or standing lazy and freely moving around the teleportation array suddenly jumped up. Those who threw the pigs directly threw the pigs, and those who played poker also sprinkled the poker cards directly. In an instant, all the guards entered the state of combat and stared at the center of the teleportation array with caution. Although these people seemed very lazy, they were actually the elites of the gods. Just like special forces in the army, they may not be as disciplined as some conventional troops, but their combat skills were definitely first-class.
As the teleportation array gradually reached the critical point, two figures suddenly appeared in the center of the teleportation array and quickly aggregated into shape. Then all the guards collectively tightened the muscles of their bodies for a moment, but the next second, after seeing the person clearly, the guards immediately relaxed.
"So it's President Zi Ri." Seeing Hongyue and I appear in the center of the teleportation array, a guard couldn't help but sigh, and then turned around to greet the person who had been playing together, "It's a false alarm, everyone continue." As he said that, he saw these people picking poker, picking poker, looking for semen, looking for semen, looking for semen, and gathering in the entire God Clan version of the casino.
Hongyue muttered in a low voice: "Are these guys too arrogant? Do you use us as an entertainment center?"
I replied in a low voice: "Anyway, we are not paying for these people, so what do you care about them? Let's find out where the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam is sent, which is true."
"That's right." Hong Yue nodded and immediately followed me to leave the teleportation array. The guards outside were much more relaxed compared to the teleportation array. When they saw me, they would mostly nod and say hello and go there. Only some important sections of the road would jump out in shock and startle.
It took him more than ten minutes to run to the guard management office of the City of Decree, and then talked about the situation with the guard commander on duty today. The other party immediately mobilized a large group of gods to climb onto the wall of the City of Decree to look after. In addition, he also sent a large group of gods guards scattered around the mountain to guard. As long as someone dared to approach the nearby area, they would be arrested by these gods immediately.
It is not enough to arrange the defense work here, and passive defense always has loopholes to be exploited. Facts have proved that there is no truly invincible defense in this world, and I have only heard of being a thief for thousands of days, but I have never heard of being a thief for thousands of days. It is not a big deal for us to keep guarding like this. The most important thing is to find the can of stolen liquefied magic crystal steam.
After arranging the matter in the city, I left the City of Discipline with Hongyue and teleported to the Kula City that the guy mentioned before, and we both began to investigate the whereabouts of the liquefied magic crystal steam. The size of this thing is not small. For such a border town, if someone uses a teleportation array to transport such a large thing, it should be very conspicuous, so it should not be difficult to investigate. In addition, we have another purpose for investigating here, which is to alert the snake.
Hongyue and I determine that many people know us. If the Sancai people are really lurking nearby, we should soon know that we are in Kura City. Knowing that we have chased us here will inevitably react. Whether they are hastily launching the attack plan or changing their strategy to transfer the tank of liquefied magic crystal steam, this will give us a signal. The most difficult bug to find is the bug that hides in the grass. As long as they run, we will definitely find some clues and pull them out.
With this idea, we started searching around the city. Hongyue mainly asked passers-by about the situation, and I specifically looked for fixed NPCs in the city. With my special affinity and deterrent attributes to NPCs, generally as long as NPCs are not of exact ownership, they will basically cooperate with me.
"Have you seen this thing recently?" I asked a shop assistant in a restaurant near the city gate.
The other party looked at the magical image in my hand, then shook his head and said, "I definitely haven't seen it before. This thing is as shiny as gold. If I have seen it, I will definitely have an impression."
Seeing the waiter shook his head, I did not give up, but continued to ask: "Have you ever seen a transport truck or box that can hold this thing passing by here? Maybe this thing is wrapped."
The waiter frowned and thought when he heard me say this. Then after a long time he suddenly realized his mind and shouted: "I remember that three days ago, a group of people drove a cart with a fully enclosed cart. At that time, they used four brute force beasts to pull the cart, and they even had to push it behind them. I don't know what exactly would be so heavy."
"How big is that car?"
The waiter pointed to the magic image in my hand and said, "At least it can hold seven or eight of these things. At that time, I remember that when the car arrived at the city gate, it was almost stuck in the city gate because it was too big. Later, it was blocked at the city gate for a long time before I got it out."
I threw a bag of gold coins to the waiter, and then turned around and walked out. According to the waiter, the size of the car was probably enough to catch the size of a small container. A can of liquefied magic crystal steam obviously does not require such a large car to load it. Then the car either did not pull the liquefied magic crystal steam or it also loaded something else.
I was thinking, and suddenly Hongyue ran over. I looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why are you afraid of being so anxious?"
After standing in front of me, Hongyue said, "I'll inform you that Rose has just found that the Northern Alliance has lost three large trenchers. Because everyone uses cannons now, basically no one uses trenchers, so they have been put in the warehouse to press. When Rose just counted, Yanyu and the others found that the things were missing."
"Take machine? What kind of trench machine? How large is it?"
"The catapult is folded when not in use. Not counting the transport carriage below, the main part is probably as big as three double-door refrigerators bundled together."
After hearing this data, my eyes lit up immediately, and then asked again: "What else did Rose and the others find? Did they lose more than this liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank? There should be five more cans, right?"
When Hongyue heard this, she immediately looked at me in surprise and asked, "Have you contacted Rose? Why do you even know the quantity?"
"I guess."
"Guess?"
I nodded and pointed to the hotel behind me and said, "A waiter inside said that a few days ago, a large carriage pulled a closed carriage as big as a container and left the city here. Before, I thought the other party would not use such a big car to sway the market just to pull a can of liquefied magic crystal steam, but if three trenchers and five tanks of liquefied magic crystal steam were added to the car, it would be just right."
"I said why are you so amazing! What should we do now? Go find that car?"
"Of course, but you have to do something before that."
The so-called first thing to do is to follow the road at the gate of the city to look back. Because I knew that the target was the special carriage, I basically asked the NPCs when asking about those NPCs. There were few people in this kind of border town, so suddenly such a large carriage would certainly attract attention. I followed the road and asked whether the NPCs on both sides had seen the carriage, and then used this method to reverse the road and finally found the place where they drove out.
This is a privately bought house. There are many places like other cities, which are specially designed for players to rest. And some players also like to use this kind of house as storage boxes and throw all the equipment items that they cannot use but cannot be disposed of in a short period of time into the house, so that they don’t have to worry about carrying them all. After all, space equipment is quite rare, so most players cannot bring too many things.
Although this kind of private residence is very common, it is always in some big cities or scenic spots. Buying a house in such a small border town is definitely a rare act, and it is even a big house.
Although it is strange, because the houses bought by players in the city are system-protected, no matter how high your attack power is, don’t expect to break into the door and check it out. There are only three ways to see what there are. The first is to let the owner give you access; the second is to let the thieves steal skills; the third is to launch a siege battle, and in the battle these houses will switch from invincible state to destructible state. This setting is mainly to stimulate the development of large guilds. After all, the safer your city is, the more secure the houses others buy from you, and the larger your city, the more people come to buy houses. For most guilds, this is definitely an important source of income. However, the largest cities in our guild cities do not sell houses to the outside world, otherwise Aisinger would probably become the city with the highest housing prices in the world. After all, Aisinger has never been captured by the player guild.
I can't get into the house. System protection cannot be bypassed by strength. As for finding advanced thieves who steal skills in the club, it seems that there is no need to come, because in my opinion, this house is at most a temporary transit station, and there is probably no clue. The reason why I came here was just to let Bai Lang confirm the other party's smell.
Bai Lang, who was released by me, first sniffed on the door, then began to sniff on the ground. Finally, after successfully confirming that the other party's scent could be tracked, we began to walk out along the street.
At first, the smell became very messy and difficult to track down due to the crowds in the city, but because of the many witnesses, we didn’t need to worry about the smell. After leaving the city, although no one could give us a guide, the smell became less because there were no one left. It was really not easy to find the smell needed in tens of thousands of mixed smells, but it would be much easier if we only searched for more than a dozen smells.
After leaving the city, our speed not only did not slow down but ran faster and faster. In the end, Bai Lang led us all the way to the mountain.
The outer area of the Himalayas is actually not very steep. When you first entered the mountain, you don’t feel like you were climbing the mountain. Only after walking for a while will you realize that you are actually much higher than your previous position will you realize that you are always uphill.
We moved quickly along the mountain road along the smell. Soon Bailang found a large scattered smell on a relatively flat site, and we actually found the huge transport vehicle here.
The car is too large, and the fully enclosed cargo hold outside is too heavy. The purpose of using this thing is probably just to transport things out of the city. It is okay to say that the flat mountain roads in the early stages, but the mountain roads behind are getting steeper. If you continue to use this kind of car, even if they find a head dragon to pull it, they will probably be tired enough, so they decisively gave up the big car used to block their sight here.
After confirming that the other party had changed its mode of action, I released the king. As a hero, the king was condensed from the soul fragments and fighting will of countless soldiers on the battlefield. In fact, it also includes many memory fragments, including memory about tracking techniques. For soldiers, tracking techniques are basically a practical skill, so each legion on the battlefield will be equipped with at least some soldiers who can track them. Once these people are too many, they will naturally leave this memory fragment to the king who has fused their soul fragments, and the king learned how to track them because of these fragments.
As soon as the king came out, he immediately searched the ground according to my requirements. Then he turned to me and said, "The other party's changed team has three and four-wheeled medium-sized carriages, but they are not pulled by horses. The person responsible for traction is a beast creature with claws. The body length should be between four meters and five meters, and it may be the Earth Bear. There are three and two-wheeled small carriages behind the team, and they are also some animal creatures, but I can't see the specific species, but I can be sure that the size is not as big as the Earth Bear."
"Can the staffing configuration in the team be seen?"
"The personnel can only see that there are many people. The specific number cannot be confirmed. This is mountainous and frozen soil. The hardness of the ground soil is too high, so there is basically no trace of human weight."
"Six cars and a group of people, this team should be quite large. Let's follow their smell first."
With the king's tracking technique and the smell tracking of Bailang, we basically don't have to worry about losing it, so we advance very quickly along the way. However, we are fast, but the targets of tracking cannot get up. Even if we use the extremely exaggerated creatures like the Earth Bear as traction, it is definitely not easy to drag a heavy four-wheeled carriage on the mountain road. This can be determined by the ever-increasing odor signal mentioned by Bailang.
As the time the other party walks through a place increases, the smell at that position will only become lighter and lighter. Bailang feels that the smell is getting stronger and stronger because we are walking much faster than the other party. Therefore, the time we pass by the other party becomes shorter and shorter, so the smell will become stronger and stronger. At the beginning, Bailang had to stop occasionally to confirm the direction, but later he just ran away. I simply put the king away and rode his respective mounts with Hongyue.
Bailang is a wolf-shaped creature, and there is no burden to run on the mountain road. Ye Ying is actually just flying, so the mountain road is not a mountain road, which is just floating clouds for him. As for Hong Yue, she rides the guardian beast steel claws that are assigned to members in the guild. Everyone knows that the steel claws have extremely strong limbs, and from his name is Steel claws, you can see how prominent his claws are. You can say without hesitation that the mountain road is just a bit rugged, even the cliff steel claws that are upwards ninety degrees can cling up to the rocks. To him, walking this path is really like walking on flat ground.
Among the three creatures, the steel claws have the slowest speed, but no matter what, they can be used as mounts. If they really run wildly, the speed will definitely not be slow. At least compared to the snails that were dragging three carriages by the Sancai, the speed was at least ten times faster.
As we ran all the way, we soon discovered that the other party was gradually approaching Mount Everest, the world's highest peak where the City of Commandments is located.
Hongyue asked me with some concern: "Looking at this direction, they are obviously coming to our city of precepts. Should we remind the guards in the city to slightly expand their search range?" I also thought about it when I heard Hongyue's words, but after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Hongyue saw that I didn't react for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you speak?"
I frowned and said, "Some things can't be understood."
"What's up?"
"The situation is already very obvious now. The other party stole three catapults and six tanks of liquefied magic crystal steam from the Northern Alliance. The purpose is probably to bombard the City of Ordinance, but this is a bit unreasonable."
"Why can't you agree?" Hongyue still didn't understand what I mean.
"You think. The trencher is not a rail gun, and the range will definitely not be too far. With the weight of the liquefied magic crystal steam tank, it is considered to be the sky if they can throw three or five kilometers. However, Mount Everest is a single peak, and the distance between the peak closest to it is far more than this number. Besides, Mount Everest itself is the highest peak in the world. If the other party wants to throw the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank from other peaks, it must shoot upwards, which will further shorten the range. I really can't figure out how the other party can throw the liquefied magic crystal steam storage tank into the city of decree with a trencher. If they can't do it, why would they have to work so much to bring these three trenchers up the mountain?"
After hearing my explanation, Hongyue also reacted. "Yes. Their trench can't be thrown that far? Do you think they are planning to use the trench to throw the small can of liquefied magic crystal steam? Maybe they didn't plan to throw the whole can?"
Chapter completed!
